Uncertainty-Aware Routing
Uncertainty-aware routing chooses workflows based on uncertainty signals (low-confidence → deeper retrieval).
Best-in-class for quality/cost/safety balance—legible to C-level: "we only pay for heavy reasoning when needed."
Explanation
A "spend compute where it matters" pattern: fast path for easy queries, deep path for hard ones.
Marketing Relevance
Best-in-class for quality/cost/safety balance—legible to C-level: "we only pay for heavy reasoning when needed."
Common Pitfalls
Not calibrating uncertainty thresholds; not logging routing decisions; choosing "easy path" too often to save costs.
