  "mechanism": "For a known domain a small number of very experienced agents outperform a large crowd of novices, because they know where to look. For a new paradigm nobody has the answer, so volume and variety win. The allocation of expensive expert capacity versus cheap parallel workers is chosen from how well-mapped the problem is.",
