# Putting it together in the “attention” market

Here’s how pricing + selection could play out in practice:

* **Agent-facing listings:** Services publish **capabilities + price signals** (flat per call, dynamic auctions, or tiered streaming) in the registry. Agents select based on expected utility and policy.&#x20;
* **Bidding for invocation:** When multiple providers can fulfill a subtask, they **bid** for agent attention (e.g., “\$0.002 per 1k tokens processed,” “\$0.01/min GPU,” “success-based royalty”). The planner picks the Pareto-best bundle.&#x20;
* **Metrics shift:** Platforms optimize **service invocation frequency, capability relevance, and agent response success rate**—not human CTR.&#x20;
