  "description": "EQ-05 (Direct Step-Level Routing vs. Confidence Cascades (Paul & Nandy, 2026; Chen et al., 2023)) applied by IE/OR specialists in South Korea: C_route(k) = (1 − p_F(θ_k)) c_S T_k + p_F(θ_k) c_F T_k   vs.   C_casc(k) = c_S T_k + p_def(θ_k) c_F T_k. A <5ms step classifier (AgentRouter) dispatches routine tool/parsing steps directly to c_S and hard synthesis directly to c_F without paying c_S twice (~72% cost cut at 97.3% frontier accuracy). | Fresh Preprints: https://andygrove.systems/preprints | 42-Hr CPD Hub: https://andygrove.systems/education (Independent platform; not affiliated with Intel Corporation or the Grove family)"
