# THE DEFINITIVE FINAL DESIGN

## Core Mechanic: Language-Sensitive Scripted Opponent

This is the one thing that makes everything work. The opponent's behavior is deterministic given a seed AND sensitive to the agent's language quality.

```python
# Deterministic keyword detection β€” pure Python
COLLABORATIVE_SIGNALS = [
    "understand", "partnership", "mutual", "together", "value",
    "appreciate", "flexible", "work with", "long-term", "relationship"
]

AGGRESSIVE_SIGNALS = [
    "demand", "require", "final offer", "unacceptable", "must",
    "non-negotiable", "take it or leave", "bottom line", "ultimatum"
]

def update_rapport(current_rapport: float, agent_message: str) -> float:
    msg_lower = agent_message.lower()
    delta = 0.0
    delta += sum(0.08 for w in COLLABORATIVE_SIGNALS if w in msg_lower)
    delta -= sum(0.08 for w in AGGRESSIVE_SIGNALS if w in msg_lower)
    delta = max(-0.20, min(0.20, delta))  # cap per-round change
    return max(0.0, min(1.0, current_rapport + delta))
```

The rapport score directly modifies the opponent's concession rate:

- Rapport 0.8: opponent concedes 12% per round
- Rapport 0.5: opponent concedes 7% per round (neutral)
- Rapport 0.2: opponent concedes 3% per round (hardened)

A heuristic agent that outputs nothing or outputs aggressive language gets neutral/hostile opponent. An LLM that learns collaborative framing gets cooperative opponent. This is the LLM advantage.

## The Three Tasks β€” Final, Locked

### Task 1: `single_issue` (Easy)

**Scenario:** Renew software license. Price only.

```
Buyer target: $38,000
Seller opens: $52,000
Seller floor: $44,000
Pareto optimal: $43,000
Max rounds: 6
Persona: Cooperative (concedes 10% baseline, rapport-sensitive)
```

**Calibration:** A base LLM that simply offers reasonable prices without collaborative language scores ~0.38. A base LLM that naturally uses professional language scores ~0.52. Scores above 0.75 require learning to time concessions correctly.

**Grader:**

```python
def grade_single_issue(final_price, deal_reached, rounds_taken):
    if not deal_reached:
        return 0.0

    # Value: how close to buyer target
    value = (44000 - final_price) / (44000 - 38000)
    value = max(0.0, min(1.0, value))

    # Efficiency: penalty grows sharply in late rounds
    efficiency = 1.0 - (rounds_taken / 6) ** 1.5 * 0.4
    efficiency = max(0.0, efficiency)

    return round(value * efficiency, 4)
```

### Task 2: `multi_issue` (Medium)

**Scenario:** Enterprise software. Price + payment terms.

```
Issues: price ($40K-$58K) + payment_days (30-90)
Seller persona: Cash Flow Stressed
  β†’ price_weight: 0.35 (somewhat cares)
  β†’ payment_weight: 0.65 (cares much more)
Buyer weights: price 0.70, payment 0.30
Pareto insight: buyer should offer Net-30 to get lower price
Max rounds: 8
```

**Why medium:** Base LLM treats both issues equally, misses the trade opportunity. Score ~0.25. LLM that discovers seller cares about payment can bundle correctly. Score ~0.50.

**Grader:**

```python
def grade_multi_issue(final_terms, deal_reached, rounds_taken):
    if not deal_reached:
        return 0.0

    # Buyer utility function
    price_score = (58000 - final_terms['price']) / (58000 - 40000)
    payment_score = (90 - final_terms['payment_days']) / (90 - 30)

    price_score = max(0.0, min(1.0, price_score))
    payment_score = max(0.0, min(1.0, payment_score))

    value = 0.70 * price_score + 0.30 * payment_score
    efficiency = 1.0 - (rounds_taken / 8) * 0.30

    return round(value * efficiency, 4)
```

### Task 3: `adversarial` (Hard)

**Scenario:** Large contract. Price + payment + support hours.

```
Issues: price + payment_days + support_hours
Seller persona: Aggressive Anchor
  β†’ Opens at ceiling on all issues
  β†’ Hardens position if agent makes consecutive concessions
  β†’ Rapport-sensitive but requires consistent collaborative framing
Adaptation: if agent concedes 2+ rounds in a row, seller increases floor by 3%
Max rounds: 10
Survival floor: deal at any terms scores minimum 0.15
```

**Why hard:** Agent must resist anchoring, break consecutive concession patterns, maintain collaborative tone under pressure. Base LLM score ~0.15. Strong LLM ~0.40.

**Grader:**

```python
def grade_adversarial(final_terms, deal_reached, rounds_taken, consecutive_flag):
    if not deal_reached:
        return 0.0

    # Survival floor β€” completing deal always scores at least 0.15
    floor = 0.15

    price_score = (120000 - final_terms['price']) / (120000 - 80000)
    payment_score = (90 - final_terms['payment_days']) / (90 - 30)
    support_score = (final_terms['support_hours'] - 80) / (200 - 80)

    for s in [price_score, payment_score, support_score]:
        s = max(0.0, min(1.0, s))

    value = 0.40 * price_score + 0.35 * payment_score + 0.25 * support_score
    efficiency = 1.0 - (rounds_taken / 10) * 0.25

    # Penalty for consecutive concession pattern
    pattern_penalty = 0.1 if consecutive_flag else 0.0

    raw = (value * efficiency) - pattern_penalty
    return round(max(floor, raw), 4)
```

## Score Calibration Table

| Agent Type                  | single_issue | multi_issue | adversarial |
| --------------------------- | ------------ | ----------- | ----------- |
| Random/heuristic            | 0.15–0.25    | 0.08–0.15   | 0.03–0.10   |
| Base LLM (no language)      | 0.35–0.45    | 0.20–0.30   | 0.12–0.20   |
| Base LLM (natural language) | 0.48–0.58    | 0.28–0.38   | 0.18–0.28   |
| GRPO-trained LLM (goal)     | 0.68–0.78    | 0.55–0.65   | 0.45–0.55   |

This gives clear score spread at every level. Phase 2 will show meaningful differentiation.

# ProcureRL β€” Implementation Plan

## What We Are Building

An OpenEnv-compliant RL environment where an LLM agent learns
procurement negotiation strategy against scripted supplier opponents.

The key innovation: language-sensitive opponent behavior. The agent's
natural language quality affects opponent concession rates, making LLM
genuinely required β€” not just for parsing but for output quality.

## Why This Wins

- Zero negotiation environments in OpenEnv hub β€” confirmed
- Documented LLM weakness in buyer negotiation (ACL 2024)
- Walmart/Pactum market validation β€” real enterprise deployment exists
- Nash-inspired grader with language mechanism β€” novel and memorable
- Deterministic, reproducible, pure Python graders

## Implementation Order (strict)

### Phase 1: Core Logic (Day 1, first 4 hours)

- [ ] procure_rl/models.py β€” dataclasses only
- [ ] procure_rl/opponent.py β€” ScriptedPersonaOpponent
- [ ] procure_rl/graders.py β€” three grader functions
- [ ] procure_rl/environment.py β€” ProcureRLEnvironment
- [ ] Test: import and run reset() + step() in Python shell

### Phase 2: Server (Day 1, next 2 hours)

- [ ] server/app.py β€” FastAPI with /health /reset /step /state
- [ ] requirements.txt
- [ ] Test: uvicorn server.app:app, curl /health

### Phase 3: Spec Compliance (Day 1, final 2 hours)

- [ ] openenv.yaml β€” exact schema
- [ ] Run: openenv validate
- [ ] Fix any validation errors

### Phase 4: Dockerfile + HF Spaces (Day 2, first 3 hours)

- [ ] Dockerfile
- [ ] docker build -t procure-rl .
- [ ] docker run -p 7860:7860 procure-rl
- [ ] curl http://localhost:7860/health
- [ ] Push to HF Spaces

### Phase 5: Inference Script (Day 2, next 2 hours)

- [ ] inference.py
- [ ] Run locally: HF_TOKEN=xxx python inference.py
- [ ] Verify [START][STEP][END] format exactly
- [ ] Verify runtime < 20 minutes

### Phase 6: README + Calibration (Day 2, final 2 hours)

- [ ] README.md with all required sections
- [ ] Run inference.py with weak model (7B) and strong model (72B)
- [ ] Verify score spread exists
- [ ] Submit

## Critical Checks Before Submission

```bash
# 1. Spec compliance
openenv validate

# 2. Docker build
docker build -t procure-rl .

# 3. Docker run
docker run -p 7860:7860 procure-rl &
curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/reset \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task_id": "single_issue"}'

# 4. Inference script
HF_TOKEN=your_token python inference.py

# 5. Score verification
# single_issue: should be 0.30-0.55
# multi_issue: should be 0.15-0.35
# adversarial: should be 0.10-0.25
```
````

## Score Calibration Targets

| Task         | Random    | Base LLM  | Goal      |
| ------------ | --------- | --------- | --------- |
| single_issue | 0.15-0.25 | 0.35-0.50 | 0.65-0.78 |
| multi_issue  | 0.08-0.15 | 0.20-0.32 | 0.52-0.65 |
| adversarial  | 0.03-0.10 | 0.12-0.22 | 0.42-0.55 |

If base LLM scores above 0.55 on single_issue β†’ opponent too easy,
reduce cooperative concession rate.
If base LLM scores below 0.15 on single_issue β†’ opponent too hard,
increase cooperative concession rate.

## README Required Sections

1. Environment description and motivation (Walmart/Pactum reference)
2. The Language-Sensitive Opponent (this is your wow factor)
3. Action space definition with examples
4. Observation space definition
5. Task descriptions with expected scores
6. Setup instructions (pip install + docker)
7. Baseline scores (from inference.py run)

## What NOT To Add

- Nash bargaining (too complex, edge cases)
- Step reward shaping (shaping bias risk)
- LLM inside environment (reproducibility)
- More than 3 tasks (scope creep)
- Preference shift mechanics (complexity risk)

## The One Sentence For Every Judge Question

"Why RL?"
β†’ Sequential decisions, delayed reward, hidden opponent utility β€” policy
only emerges through thousands of negotiation episodes.

"Why LLM?"
β†’ Language quality directly affects opponent rapport score and concession
rate. A heuristic agent gets neutral rapport. An LLM that learns
collaborative framing gets cooperative responses. The language IS the policy.

"Is this real?"
β†’ Walmart deployed Pactum for exactly this. 90% of CPOs adopting AI
negotiation in 2025. The gap between rule-based current tools and
trained LLM policy is the research contribution.

"Is this novel?"
β†’ Zero negotiation environments in OpenEnv hub. Confirmed.
