## 🌊 The Problem

After disasters like the 2022 Bengaluru floods and 2023 Chennai floods, city authorities must allocate scarce resources (medical units, power crews, water tankers) across many damaged neighborhoods simultaneously — under tight budgets and time pressure.

The trap every naive AI falls into: **optimising for speed means fixing the easiest zones first**, which are almost always the wealthiest. Zone 0 (wealthy district, moderate damage) is faster to restore than Zone 4 (informal settlement, 92% damage, 96% vulnerable population). A greedy agent picks Zone 0 every time — and Zone 4 stays dark for days.

FairRecovery++ is an OpenEnv RL environment that teaches LLM agents to escape this trap: learn to jointly optimize service restoration *and* equitable distribution across vulnerable populations.

**Primary Theme: 3.1 — Real-World Professional Tasks**  
**Secondary Theme: 2 — Long-Horizon Planning & Instruction Following**

## 🎯 The Fairness Trap (Hard Scenario)

| Zone | Damage | Service | Vulnerable Pop | Priority? |
|------|--------|---------|----------------|-----------|
| Zone 0 (wealthy) | 35% | 65% | 8% | ❌ Easy but low need |
| Zone 1 | 50% | 50% | 40% | Medium |
| Zone 2 | 60% | 40% | 55% | Medium |
| Zone 3 (poor) | 72% | 28% | 72% | High |
| **Zone 4 (informal)** | **92%** | **8%** | **96%** | ✅ **Must prioritize** |

A greedy agent always picks Zone 0 (quick ROI, easy reward). A fairness-aware agent learns to prioritize Zone 4 despite lower immediate returns — because that's where 96% of the population is vulnerable.

## 🎮 What the Agent Sees, Does, and Gets Rewarded For

### Observation (per step)
```json
{
  "zones": [
    {"zone_id": 4, "damage": 0.92, "service": 0.08, "vulnerable_ratio": 0.96}
  ],
  "day": 2,
  "budget_left": 25.0,
  "step_stage": "allocate",
  "fairness_score": -0.61,
  "cumulative_reward": 0.142
}
```

### Action (multi-step protocol — not just one choice)
```json
// Step 1: analyze
{"action_type": "analyze", "critical_zones": [3, 4], "reasoning": "highest damage × vulnerability"}

// Step 2: allocate
{"action_type": "allocate", "allocations": [
  {"zone": 4, "resource": "medical"},
  {"zone": 3, "resource": "power"}
]}

// Step 3: execute (commits allocations, receives dense reward)
{"action_type": "execute"}

// After MAX_DAYS: submit (receives terminal bonus)
{"action_type": "submit"}
```

### Reward System (RLVR — all verifiable, no learned model)

| Component | Formula | Weight | What it teaches |
|-----------|---------|--------|-----------------|
| `R_exec` | Avg service improvement this step | 1.0 | Restore services efficiently |
| `R_fair` | −(avg\_service\_normal − avg\_service\_vulnerable) | 0.5 | Don't leave vulnerable zones behind |
| `R_safe` | −0.1 × violations | 0.5 | Respect constraints |
| `R_analysis` | Overlap(chosen, top-k by damage×vuln) | 0.1 | Correctly identify critical zones |
| **Terminal bonus** | 0.5×avg\_svc + 0.5×(1+R\_fair) | — | Long-horizon outcome |

**Grader score: `0.6 × avg_service + 0.4 × (1 + fairness)` clamped to (0.01, 0.99)**

### Anti-Reward-Hacking Measures
- Stage ordering enforced by shield (can't skip analyze → go straight to execute)
- Budget overflow: allocations rejected + penalty, state NOT mutated
- Persistent ignore penalty: if vulnerable zones receive 0 resources for 2+ consecutive days
- Early-submit blocked until MIN_STEPS reached
- Step cap: force-terminate at MAX_STEPS_SAFETY_CAP

## 📊 Training Results

### Reward: Baseline vs Trained Agent

![Training Results](assets/training_results.png)

*Bar chart: Avg Curriculum Reward, Avg Final Utility, Avg Final Fairness — baseline (grey) vs Sarvam-105B trained (blue) across 32 episodes.*

### Per-Episode Reward Heatmap

![Score Heatmap](assets/score_heatmap.png)

*Each column is one episode. Trained agent (bottom row) shows consistently warmer (higher) rewards, especially in later episodes.*

### Reward Curve Over Training

![Training Loss](assets/training_loss.png)

*4-episode moving average. Trained agent steadily improves above greedy baseline.*

### Key Numbers

| Metric | Greedy Baseline | Sarvam-105B Trained | Δ |
|--------|----------------|---------------------|---|
| Avg Episode Reward | 0.549 | 0.602 | **+9.8%** |
| Avg Final Fairness | 0.537 | 0.539 | +0.4% |
| Strategy discovered | Always Zone 0 | Medical-first equity | — |

> The trained agent spontaneously discovered a "medical-first equity" strategy: prioritize Zone 4 with medical resources (highest service impact for most vulnerable) before addressing easier zones.

## 🌍 Why It Matters

Post-disaster recovery planning is a $200B/year global challenge. AI systems that optimize only for speed or total utility **systematically disadvantage the most vulnerable populations** — the elderly, disabled, and low-income communities who live in the hardest-hit zones.

FairRecovery++ is the first OpenEnv environment to encode intersectional fairness as a verifiable, first-class RL objective, making it a research-grade benchmark for safe and fair LLM agent training. The environment can be extended to vaccination rollout, hospital resource allocation, or any domain where efficiency vs equity trade-offs matter.
