Short answer

How do I audit game economy balance with my AI?

Your AI analyzes loot tables and item values to spot imbalances in rarity or progression. You'll get a clear view of expected item distribution and value drift. Here is what you'll find.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your economy files and categorizes the results into these four areas.

DISTRIBUTION

Rarity drift detected

The AI identifies if certain items are dropping too often or too rarely. You get a report on how your actual drops deviate from your intended design.

VALUE

Economic inflation

The AI calculates if item values are scaling correctly. It flags items that are overvalued or underpowered relative to the player's current stage.

BENCHMARK

Industry alignment

The AI compares your current loot curves against standard industry patterns. This shows you if your progression feels too fast or too slow compared to similar titles.

HUMAN

Design decisions

The AI flags the specific math errors that need your attention. You decide whether to tweak the drop rates or change the item stats based on these findings.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as a mathematical auditor for your economy spreadsheets or JSON files.

  1. Analyze drop rates

    The AI scans your loot tables to see if the probability of rare items matches your design goals.

    audit_rarity_distribution

  2. Calculate item worth

    The AI runs math on your item pool to determine the average value players will accumulate.

    compute_expected_value

  3. Identify outliers

    The AI looks for items that break the progression curve by being too cheap or too expensive.

    compute_expected_value

  4. Verify rarity curves

    The AI checks that your common, rare, and legendary items follow a logical distribution.

  • Audit the rarity distribution in loot_table_v2.json and tell me if any legendaries are too common.

  • Compute the expected value of the items in my 'Gold_Drops' Google Sheet.

  • Check the loot_tables/boss_drops.csv file for any items that deviate from our target rarity curve.

  • Compare the expected value of items in the 'Early_Game' folder against the 'Mid_Game' folder to check for inflation.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my loot tables directly?

    No. The AI only reads your data and provides analysis. You must manually update your files after reviewing the audit.

  • 02

    Does it work with Google Sheets?

    Yes, as long as your agent has access to the sheet, it can run the audit tools on that data.

  • 03

    Can the AI fix the economy for me?

    No. The AI identifies the mathematical imbalances, but the actual design changes and balancing decisions are entirely up to you.

  • 04

    What happens if my loot table is missing item values?

    The compute_expected_value tool will fail to provide a result if the necessary value data is missing from your files.

  • 05

    Can it predict future player behavior?

    No. The tools are designed for mathematical auditing of existing data, not for simulating player psychology or behavioral modeling.
