Mercantile-Commons

A procedural, partially observed, general-sum multi-agent environment where policies operate firms inside evolving supply networks. Agents produce, trade, bargain, share or challenge forecasts, manage credit and trust, and survive correlated shocks with unfamiliar counterparties while balancing profit, service, solvency, contribution, relationship integrity, sustainability, fairness, and lower-tail resilience.

01 Task contract

A real, versioned RL environment.

A procedural, partially observed, general-sum multi-agent environment where policies operate firms inside evolving supply networks. Agents produce, trade, bargain, share or challenge forecasts, manage credit and trust, and survive correlated shocks with unfamiliar counterparties while balancing profit, service, solvency, contribution, relationship integrity, sustainability, fairness, and lower-tail resilience.

Agent objective

  • Interact with the supplied stateful environment.
  • Produce verifier-checkable actions or artifacts.
  • Maximise scalar reward under the package contract.

Evaluation

  • Private verifier.
  • Reported reward range 0–1.
  • Package-specific public and private checks.

Delivery boundary

  • Private object stored in Cloudflare R2.
  • Authenticated entitlement required.
  • Short-lived signed URL per download.
02 What you will work on

Distinct environments, one demanding research contract.

Enough detail to understand the intellectual terrain; generated instances, hidden mechanisms, and solution paths remain inside the private package.

EnvironmentMathematical or technical frontierAdaptive research problem
Demand and supply shocksSpikes, outages, routes, recallsCoordinate production, sourcing, logistics, inventory, contracts, and trust through changing physical constraints.
Financial stressCredit crunch and solvencyBalance borrowing, repayment, trade, capacity, and service while avoiding bankruptcy and idle cash-hoarding strategies.
Shared externalitiesCarbon and infrastructureTrade off private profit with sustainability and contribution to costly public goods under free-rider incentives.
Information and trustForecast manipulation and breachesInterpret biased signals, communicate strategically, audit counterparties, and rebuild or withdraw trust.
Scarcity and compound recoveryRationing, fairness, mixed shocksAllocate scarce goods across priority and ordinary demand while preserving service, equity, and lower-tail resilience.
03 Why it is interesting

What the supplied evaluation reveals.

A GPT-5.6-Pro-authored heuristic was frozen before a 180-episode private campaign. It scored 0.2413 versus 0.1194 for the reciprocal baseline, won on mean and tail utility, and cut bankruptcy from 55% to 0.56%. The score is a bounded multi-objective benchmark value, not a percentage or evidence of real procurement competence. Validation passed 12 tests with one optional dependency skip; the product remains a technically validated paid beta.

We publish aggregate behavior and task structure, while withholding generated instances, hidden labels, exact successful probes, private checks, and solution trajectories.

05 Private delivery

The package stays off the public website.

The paid ZIP will live in a private R2 bucket. Vercel authorizes the buyer and issues a 2–5 minute object URL; R2 serves the bytes directly.

Included with purchase
