Skill Complementarity in Agent Ensembles: A Stable Coverage Metric for Team Composition

Replace brittle convex-hull claims with coverage, dispersion, and backup depth

Selecting the highest-scoring individual agents often yields homogeneous teams that leave important parts of the problem space uncovered. This article replaces an overly brittle convex-hull formulation with a more stable Skill Complementarity Index based on skill coverage, pairwise dispersion, and backup depth. The result is easier to compute, easier to interpret, and better aligned with real team-design decisions.
