**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 5 claims that carry the concept tag `consensus-by-redundancy`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself.

**2018**

- [3128900-008](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-008) [empirical/evidenced] -- To offset human limitations, requesters in centralized micro task structures assign the same task to teams of up to fifteen workers to form a consensus.
  > In an attempt to ensure quality of results and minimize the impact of the human limitations of their workers, requesters in centralized micro task structures set up teams of up to 15 workers to perform the same task in an effort to form a consensus.

- [3128900-009](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-009) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Consensus by redundancy fails economically: multiplying the same work across many workers significantly increases the cost of micro task work.
  > The multiplication of work inherent in this process significantly increases the cost of micro task work.

- [3128900-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-010) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Paying proportionally, up to fifteen times, for the same project output is waste, and the necessity of multiplying work also pushes micro task workers into lower rates with no pay increases.
  > Requiring requesters to pay proportionally (e.g. up to 15 times) for work per project result in waste. The necessity of multiplication of work also subjects micro task workers to lower rates and lack of payment increases.

- [3128900-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-023) [design/argued] -- Rather than repeating the same task across many workers to reach quality, the architecture verifies quality directly by examining and validating individual worker task performance through reputation verification.
  > Instead of repeating work on given tasks to attain high quality work products for micro tasks, Semada uses an architecture of reputation verification that examines micro worker task performance and verifies the validity and quality of the work.

**2024**

- [4755632-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-011) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- To form consensus and offset worker error, requesters in centralized micro task structures assign teams of up to fifteen workers to the same task, and the resulting multiplication of work significantly increases the cost of micro task work and produces waste when requesters pay proportionally for redundant output.
  > set up teams of up to 15 workers to perform the same task in an effort to form a consensus. The multiplication of work inherent in this process significantly increases the cost of micro task work.
