model routing — Sending each request to a model chosen by the difficulty of the task, rather than using one model for everything.

Shows when to send routine support questions to a cheap model and escalate only some. It separates request-error fallbacks from answer-acceptance checks and says to measure cost per resolved ticket and escalation rate.
