Agent Advantage Report
Three real tasks, each run twice: once by hiring the agent through Muster, once by hand against the same chain. Time, cost and whether the two answers agree, with both outputs attached in full.
Method, stated before the numbers
Operator ran both arms. The agent arm is the identical code the paid endpoint runs, on the identical inputs, timed round trip from a client. The control arm is one cast call at a time in the order a person would make them, timed wall clock, on the same machine. No independent grader and no first-time visitor were available before the close, so output quality is measured as numerical agreement between the two arms rather than by a blind rating.

}What this does and does not show
On T1 and T3 the agent arm is faster because one call replaces a chain of reads a person has to sequence and price by hand, and its outputs carry the block they were read at. On T2 the hired arm was slower than the control. That is a real result and it is kept: the agent walks every Venus market, 55 of them, then ranks, while the control read five markets the operator already knew to pick. The agent also measures the block time it compounds with, where the control assumed 0.45 seconds. A cold process paid the full walk. A second call within the freshness window answers from the cache in under a second, which the status page shows. Coverage cost time here. The report says so rather than picking the faster framing. The manual arm is what a competent operator with cast can do in the time shown, and it needs the operator to already know the contract addresses and the formula. Cost on the agent side is the quoted price in the 402. Settlement through Binance B402 is pending a merchant developer account, so the hired arm in this run was the identical code path minus the on-chain settle, and the report says that rather than implying a payment cleared. No independent grader and no first-time visitor rated the outputs, so quality is reported as agreement between the two arms.
