TASMAN carries directed trust scores between negotiations and tests whether prompted agents use them when proposing and voting. In a Grok-4.1-Fast reasoning-agent setting, using the same BRS trust with prescriptive guidance raised agreement from 35.5% to 66.0%; full prescriptive guidance reached 68.5%, 23 points above no trust. Findings are limited to the studied settings and do not establish efficiency gains.
