How to run

From the repository root (or adjust paths accordingly):

python RQ3/analyze_performance.py
python RQ3/analyze_agent_time_comparisons.py

• Scripts assume the expected experiment outputs already exist under the RESULTS/ directory structure.
• If you change the input directory layout or naming, update the corresponding path configuration inside the scripts.
