+ ## Multi-Domain Cascading (Optional)
144
+
145
+ cascadeflow supports **intelligent domain-specific cascading** - automatically detecting the type of query and routing it to a specialized model for that domain.
146
+
147
+ ### How It Works
148
+
149
+ 1. **Enable Domain Cascading** in the node settings
150
+ 2. **Toggle individual domains** you want to support
151
+ 3. **Connect domain-specific models** to the new input ports that appear
152
+
153
+ When a query comes in, cascadeflow:
154
+ 1. Detects the domain (e.g., "Write a Python function" → Code domain)
155
+ 2. Routes to the specialized model for that domain (if connected)
156
+ 3. Falls back to drafter → verifier cascade if no domain model is available
157
+
158
+ ### Supported Domains
159
+
160
+ | Domain | Description | Example Queries |
161
+ |--------|-------------|-----------------|
162
+ | **Code** | Programming, debugging, code generation | "Write a Python function...", "Debug this code..." |
163
+ | **Math** | Mathematical reasoning, calculations, proofs | "Solve this equation...", "Prove that..." |
164
+ | **Data** | Data analysis, statistics, pandas/SQL | "Analyze this dataset...", "Write a SQL query..." |
165
+ | **Creative** | Creative writing, stories, poetry | "Write a short story...", "Compose a poem..." |
166
+ | **Legal** | Legal documents, contracts, regulations | "Draft a contract...", "Explain this law..." |
167
+ | **Medical** | Healthcare, medical knowledge, clinical | "What are the symptoms of...", "Explain this diagnosis..." |
168
+ | **Financial** | Finance, accounting, investment analysis | "Analyze this stock...", "Calculate ROI..." |
169
+ | **Science** | Scientific knowledge, research, experiments | "Explain quantum...", "How does photosynthesis..." |

190

191
+ ### When to Use Domain Cascading
192
+
193
+ - **Use it when**: You have domain-specific models that excel in certain areas (e.g., DeepSeek for code, specialized medical models)
194
+ - **Skip it when**: Your drafter/verifier combination handles all domains well enough
