[Re] Groups of diverse problem-solvers outperform groups of highest-ability problem-solvers - most of the time
A replication of an agent-based problem-solving model comparing groups with different ability and diversity compositions.

How often does each group-selection rule perform best across evaluator-generated landscapes and fixed random seeds?
The evaluator owns landscape generation, group-selection rules and aggregate scoring; the simulation does not directly establish real-team performance.
What you could produce
- Versioned protocol, input and environment manifest, and independent per-case comparison table including uncertainty and incomplete cases.
Before you use it
- Exact article-specific dependencies, data and build requirements remain uninspected.
Limits to keep in view
- No research code was executed; no independent scientific verification has been performed.
- The current qualified pilot is self-contained Python 3.13 with a 90-second author deadline. This article's environment has not been qualified for that path.
- Published source metadata and a historical review do not establish compatibility, successful reproduction, operator independence or current scientific correctness.
