Step-by-step answer
Stretch 45–60 min6 stepsSweep a cascade's gate and find the frontier
A cascade simulator over 2,000 synthetic lease extractions: each record says whether the cheap extraction is wrong, whether the strong model would be wrong if escalated, and the verifier's probability that the cheap answer is wrong. Sweeping the gate shows the cascade matching the strong model's 4% error at a threshold of 0.60 for 16% of its cost, and the p95 latency jumping from 3.3 s to 33.3 s as soon as more than 5% of leases escalate.
