| Research Type | Theoretical | Objectives: The chief objective of this paper is to understand the joint design choice of the number of agents and their rewards. Methods: We study this problem in a theoretical framework of optimal incentives, where a system designer (principal) selects the environment in which multiple autonomous decentralized AI agents work together. ... Results: We prove a general result that the optimal team size will vary with the parameters of the environment, but the optimal incentives will not. ... Our model delivers closed-form solutions for the optimal number of agents and the structure of incentive contracts across both tiers. ... In this section, we will restrict our attention to the case when G is a power function, G(n) = A nγ, with A> 0, γ> 1. In this case, the closed-form solutions for the agents and supervisor s incentive contracts are given in equations (27) and (28). ... Now that we have closed-form solutions for the optimal incentive contracts, team size, monitoring effort, and profits, we can graph these in numerical simulations to generate intuition on their shapes and directions. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper primarily presents mathematical derivations, propositions, and theoretical models. There are no explicit sections or figures labeled 'Pseudocode' or 'Algorithm', nor are there any structured, code-like procedural blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper is theoretical and does not mention the release of any source code, nor does it provide links to repositories or supplementary materials containing code. |
| Open Datasets | No | This is a theoretical paper focusing on mathematical modeling and analysis of AI agent teams. It does not conduct experiments using any specific datasets, thus no dataset access information is provided. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper is theoretical and does not use datasets for empirical experiments. Therefore, there is no mention of training/test/validation dataset splits. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper is a theoretical study on monitoring teams of AI agents and does not describe any experiments that would require specific hardware. Therefore, no hardware specifications are provided. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper is a theoretical study and does not describe any implementation details or software used for experiments that would require specific version numbers for software dependencies. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical derivations and numerical simulations based on those derivations, rather than empirical experiments. It does not contain an experimental setup with hyperparameters or system-level training settings. |
