Title:Five Adjudication Procedures by Procedural Complexity
Abstract: AgentCourt provides five adjudication procedures that share model-request and record-keeping components but differ in procedural structure. This report defines procedural complexity through the number and dependency of decision stages, participant roles, mutable state, terminal branches, and replay operations. Under those criteria, the order is Simple, Quick, Agent Arbitration Degree (ARBD), Agent Arbitration (ARB), and Agent District Court (ADC). Simple makes one provider request. Quick adds two opposed arguments and one council ballot. ARBD adds eight lawyer opportunities across five phases, evidence submission and custody, a Lean state machine, and replay verification. ARB adds thresholded deliberation over as many as three rounds under its default policy and a no-majority outcome. ADC adds case preparation, pleadings, motions, discovery, trial, judge and clerk decisions, six to twelve jurors, verdict derivation, judgment, a SQLite court record, and formal replay. Accuracy, latency, and cost require separate measurements.
