+Decision models are a different kind of judge: they return a probability per
+class instead of text, so they give no reasons, take one request of a few
+hundred tokens per citation, and pay nothing for output. VeriQuote ships one
+as `DecisionsJudge` (OpenRouter's decisions endpoint), and two were measured:
+
+- `pplx-decider-v1.1-27b` (Perplexity, **open weights**, the default) agreed
+  with the annotators more often than any other judge on the 240 pairs (84.2%,
+  κ 0.594) and caught 85.7% of the unsupported citations, for $0.002 in
+  9 seconds. On all 2,896 ALCE pairs: 81.9% agreement, κ 0.550, 84.1% caught,
+  for $0.028.
+- `jev-1.13` (TypeSafe, closed) caught more, 87.5% on the 240 pairs and 89.7%
+  on all 2,896, with less agreement overall (79.6% and 81.6%, κ 0.530), for
+  $0.09 on the full set.
+
+So the two trade places: the open model is the better judge overall and costs
+a third as much; the closed one lets fewer unsupported citations through. Both
+are far cheaper than a chat judge with reasoning: `glm-5.3-flash` costs about
+$0.00023 per citation through OpenRouter (measured on 48 pairs) against
+$0.00001 for `pplx-decider`, roughly 24 times as much, and takes about 1.4 s
+per citation against 30 ms. ALCE has been public since 2023, so training
+contamination cannot be ruled out for these or for any other judge here.

+ * Entailment judge backed by a decision model through OpenRouter's
+ * Decisions API (`POST /api/alpha/decisions`). A decision model returns a
+ * probability per class instead of text: no reasons, no JSON to repair,
+ * a few hundred input tokens per citation and free output.
+ *
+ * Measured on the ALCE benchmark (bench/README.md):
+ *   - perplexity/pplx-decider-v1.1-27b (open weights, the default):
+ *     2,896 pairs, binary agreement 81.9 %, kappa 0.550, false green
+ *     15.9 %, $0.028 in 74 s.
+ *   - typesafe/jev-1.13 (closed): 81.6 %, kappa 0.530, false green
+ *     10.3 %, $0.090 in 70 s.
+ *
+ * Each class has a description the model chooses among; confidence is the
+ * expected degree of support under the class probabilities (the middle of
+ * each class's band in the chat judge's rubric). Class descriptions and
+ * support values are fixed and were not tuned on the benchmark.
+ *
+ * Security: run this server-side, or through a proxy that adds the key
+ * (pass `fetch` and leave `apiKey` empty). Inputs are length-capped.

+/**
+ * Entailment judge backed by a decision model through OpenRouter's
+ * Decisions API (`POST /api/alpha/decisions`). A decision model returns a
+ * probability per class instead of text: no reasons, no JSON to repair,
+ * a few hundred input tokens per citation and free output.
+ *
+ * Measured on the ALCE benchmark (bench/README.md):
+ *   - perplexity/pplx-decider-v1.1-27b (open weights, the default):
+ *     2,896 pairs, binary agreement 81.9 %, kappa 0.550, false green
+ *     15.9 %, $0.028 in 74 s.
+ *   - typesafe/jev-1.13 (closed): 81.6 %, kappa 0.530, false green
+ *     10.3 %, $0.090 in 70 s.
+ *
+ * Each class has a description the model chooses among; confidence is the
+ * expected degree of support under the class probabilities (the middle of
+ * each class's band in the chat judge's rubric). Class descriptions and
+ * support values are fixed and were not tuned on the benchmark.
+ *
+ * Security: run this server-side, or through a proxy that adds the key
+ * (pass `fetch` and leave `apiKey` empty). Inputs are length-capped.
