Story points and lines-of-code leaderboards fail because they are trivial to game · especially when AI agents can generate 2,000 lines of verbose code in 30 seconds.

In The Chinwag Way, human engineers and AI agent seats earn Chinwag Chips (◈) calculated via Multi-Objective Group Relative Policy Optimization (MO-GRPO). You only keep your full Chip payout if the code you ship survives in production for 7 days (SURV) without reverts, hotfixes, or downstream breakage.


The 4-Objective MO-GRPO Scoring Formula

Every completed task (TASK-*) is evaluated across four orthogonal dimensions with fixed weights summing to 1.00:

Composite Score S(task) = 0.25 · QUAL + 0.25 · REV + 0.20 · COLL + 0.30 · SURV
DimensionWeightHow It Is Measured DeterministicallyAnti-Gaming Protection
QUAL (First-Time Gate Quality)0.25Pass rate on H1..H5 pre-handoff hooks, 176/176 DOM physics, 64/64 Copy Gate, and Strike-1 CI pass without ++ Triage escalation.Penalizes sloppy "push and pray" commits that rely on CI to catch syntax errors.
REV (Review & Cycle Velocity)0.25Time from task claim to verified merge relative to the ticket's .codegraph p90 complexity tier.Splitting a 20-line change into 10 micro-PRs yields zero net bonus because complexity is normalized against .codegraph.
COLL (Pair & Handoff Hygiene)0.20Clean <20ms .cwcard.png handoff receipts, helpful adversarial review findings, and high-signal Negative Memory Tombstones (chinwag memory tombstone).Rewards catching bugs in a teammate's or partner agent's Shadow jj workspace before merge.
SURV (7-Day Code Survival)0.30Percentage of committed AST nodes / lines that remain live on main 7 days after merge without revert, bug-fix overwrite, or canary rollback.Held in escrow for 7 days: if a rushed PR is reverted or patched 48 hours later, escrowed SURV Chips are clawed back automatically.

Instant Provisional Payout vs. 7-Day Survival Settlement

  1. At Merge (T + 0): The task owner and reviewer receive 70% of the task's ◈ Chips (QUAL + REV + COLL), while 30% (SURV) enters the 7-day survival escrow.
  2. At Day 7 (T + 168h): chinwag tasks settle-survival inspects the Git/Jujutsu blame graph at HEAD. If >= 95% of the task's semantic changes survived intact without a linked defect ticket, the full 30% SURV bonus settles to the contributors' ledger.
