• Designing effective auxiliary rewards for cooperative multi-agent systems remains a precarious task; misaligned incentives risk inducing suboptimal coordination, especially where sparse task feedback fails to provide sufficient grounding.

• ScienceToStartup currently rates this 5.0/10 on the public viability pass. These results demonstrate that the search for objectivegrounded reward programs can mitigate the burden of manual engineering while producing shaping signals compatible with cooperative learning under finite budgets. Code availability is flagged in the production record; the public repository link still needs proof alignment.result 35%
