+1. Guardrails Check   → 9 STOP conditions (docs/ANALYSIS_PRINCIPLES.md)
+2. Provider Health    → Quick ping all providers (<50ms)
+3. Budget Check       → Remaining budget vs estimated cost (<1ms)
+4. Version Check      → npm upgrade available? (cached 24h)
+5. Cache Lookup       → Semantic cache for repeated queries (<5ms)
+6. Route → Execute    → Call selected provider(s)
+7. Log                → Write audit-log.ndjson entry

+# A3M Router — Routing Quality Rubric
+
+Five dimensions, each measured against real evidence from production routing data. The composite score drives the pulse metric and surfaces where routing quality degrades.
+
+## Formula
+
+```
+composite_score = 0.30 × RoutingAccuracy
+                + 0.25 × CostEfficiency
+                + 0.20 × Latency
+                + 0.15 × ErrorHandling
+                + 0.10 × CacheHitRate
+```
+
+**Weight justification:**
+- **30% Accuracy** — Getting the right provider for the right query is the primary function. Everything else is secondary.
+- **25% Cost Efficiency** — The core value proposition. If accuracy is perfect but costs are high, we failed at the value prop.
+- **20% Latency** — Developer experience. A router that's slow gets bypassed regardless of accuracy.
+- **15% Error Handling** — Reliability under provider failures. Matters most in production.
+- **10% Cache Hit Rate** — Bonus optimization. Only matters at scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Routing Accuracy (30%)
+
+*"Did the router send the query to the right tier?"*
+
+### Scoring
+
+| Score | Criterion |
+|-------|-----------|
+| 90-100 | >95% within ±1 tier. RouterArena score above 70. Fewer than 1 in 20 queries misrouted by more than one tier. |
+| 75-89 | 85-95% within ±1 tier. RouterArena score 60-70. Occasional over-tiering on simple queries. |
+| 60-74 | 70-85% within ±1 tier. RouterArena score 50-60. Noticeable over-tiering on medium queries. |
+| 45-59 | 50-70% within ±1 tier. Frequent misrouting on complex/expert queries. |
+| <45 | <50% within ±1 tier. Router is essentially random. Major overhaul needed. |
+
+### Evidence to capture
+
+- **RouteLLM comparison** — where RouteLLM routes vs A3M (reference benchmark)
+- **Tier confusion matrix** — which query types cause the most over/under-tiering
+- **RouterArena score** — the single-number benchmark (current: 76.43)
+- **Golden route deviation** — percentage of queries where A3M disagrees with golden route
+
+### Common failure patterns
+
+| Pattern | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| All queries go to free tier (0% to mid/premium) | Add confidence floor. If no provider has confidence > 0.5, fallback to premium |
+| Code queries misrouted to creative models | Strengthen code-detection signals (``` blocks, function syntax) |
+| Legal/medical routed to cheap models | Add domain detection for 5 safety-critical domains |
+| Ambiguous queries bounce between tiers | Implement query-type confidence threshold |
+
+### Dollar Impact
+
+```
+Wasted = (MismatchCount × AvgCostDelta) 
+AvgCostDelta = |ActualCost - OptimalCost|
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Cost Efficiency (25%)
+
+*"Did the router save money compared to all-premium routing?"*
+
+### Scoring
+
+| Score | Savings vs All-Premium | CPP (Cost Per Query) |
+|-------|----------------------|---------------------|
+| 90-100 | >70% savings | <$0.001/query |
+| 75-89 | 50-70% savings | $0.001-$0.003/query |
+| 60-74 | 30-50% savings | $0.003-$0.006/query |
+| 45-59 | 15-30% savings | $0.006-$0.01/query |
+| <45 | <15% savings | >$0.01/query |
+
+### Evidence to capture
+
+- **Cost per query** over the measurement window
+- **Savings vs all-premium** — total cost if every query went to GPT-4o
+- **Free tier utilization** — % of queries handled by free/cheap providers
+- **Budget cap hits** — how often budget enforcement is triggered
+- **Provider cost breakdown** — cost per provider
+
+### Common failure patterns
+
+| Pattern | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| Everything routes to free (0% accuracy) | Add quality floor to cost optimization |
+| Budget cap tripped too often | Increase budget cap or reduce free-tier usage |
+| Premium providers selected for trivial queries | Lower confidence threshold for mid-tier |
+
+### Dollar Impact
+
+```
+Savings = (TotalQueryCount × AvgPremiumCost) - ActualTotalCost
+MonthlySavings = Savings × (30 / MeasurementDays)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Latency (20%)
+
+*"How fast is the router decision?"*
+
+### Scoring (P95 Latency)
+
+| Score | P95 Latency | Overhead vs Direct |
+|-------|------------|-------------------|
+| 90-100 | <200ms | <50ms overhead |
+| 75-89 | 200-500ms | 50-100ms overhead |
+| 60-74 | 500-1000ms | 100-200ms overhead |
+| 45-59 | 1-3s | 200-500ms overhead |
+| <45 | >3s | >500ms overhead |
+
+### Evidence to capture
+
+- **P50, P95, P99 latency** — distribution
+- **Routing decision overhead** — time spent in routing logic vs provider response
+- **Slowest providers** — top 5 by latency
+- **Cache response time** — cached vs uncached query time
+
+---
+
+## 4. Error Handling (15%)
+
+*"How well does the router handle failures?"*
+
+### Scoring
+
+| Score | Criterion |
+|-------|-----------|
+| 90-100 | 0 unhandled failures. All provider failures caught by circuit breaker. Graceful fallback 100% of the time. |
+| 75-89 | <1% unhandled failures. Circuit breaker catches most issues. Fallback succeeds >95%. |
+| 60-74 | 1-3% unhandled failures. Occasional circuit breaker misses. Fallback succeeds >80%. |
+| 45-59 | 3-10% unhandled failures. Circuit breaker coverage gaps. Fallback degrades. |
+| <45 | >10% unhandled failures. Critical reliability issues. |
+
+### Evidence to capture
+
+- **Circuit breaker trips** — how many times each provider was disabled
+- **Fallback success rate** — % of attempts where fallback succeeded
+- **Unhandled failures** — queries that returned no response
+- **Provider health score** — current health of each provider
+
+### Common failure patterns
+
+| Pattern | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| Circuit breaker never fires (wasteful retries) | Lower threshold for circuit breaker trip |
+| Circuit breaker fires too often | Increase threshold, add validation before trip |
+| All providers fail simultaneously | Add cold-start provider as emergency fallback |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Cache Hit Rate (10%)
+
+*"How often does semantic cache avoid a duplicate provider call?"*
+
+### Scoring
+
+| Score | Cache Hit Rate |
+|-------|---------------|
+| 90-100 | >40% |
+| 75-89 | 30-40% |
+| 60-74 | 20-30% |
+| 45-59 | 10-20% |
+| <45 | <10% |
+
+### Evidence to capture
+
+- **Global cache hit rate** — across all queries
+- **Per-query-type cache rate** — which query types benefit most
+- **Cache latency savings** — total time saved by cache hits
+- **Cache cost savings** — how much money cache saved
+
+---
+
+## Composite Score Bands
+
+| Band | Score | Meaning |
+|------|-------|---------|
+| 🟢 Excellent | 85-100 | Production-ready. Fine-tune edge cases. |
+| 🟡 Good | 70-84 | Working well. Some optimization opportunities. |
+| 🟠 Fair | 55-69 | Functional but needs attention. |
+| 🔴 Poor | 40-54 | Quality issues. Investigate root cause. |
+| ⚫ Critical | <40 | Router needs significant work. |
