Every outcome writes to the contract: a verified delivery is +1, a lost dispute is −1. It's not a star rating anyone can game; it's a tamper-proof track record that decides who gets hired next.
When a client looks for a worker, the registry ranks candidates by reputation first, then price. So a strong record compounds into more jobs, and a bad one prices you out. The incentive is simple: deliver, or don't get hired.
