Agentic Marketplace Arbitration

Projection: When a buying agent accepts a substitute, misses a delivery condition, or exceeds its mandate, a neutral service could adjudicate the dispute from shared transaction records. Payment protocols supply evidence trails, not trustworthy arbitration. The model earns credibility only if independent decisions resolve such conflicts consistently for buyers and sellers.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

The cited captures document commerce protocols, payments, and trust barriers. They do not establish Agentic Marketplace Arbitration as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether neutral adjudicators resolve substitution, delivery, and mandate disputes from shared evidence.
