Cut LLM Cost with a Jev-Verified Cascade

Drafts an answer with a cheaper model, checks whether retrieved excerpts support it, and escalates or hands off when Jev cannot verify the response against the evidence.

Before you dive in

What you’ll find in the original

  1. Require the answer to address the customer’s actual question, not merely match a relevant excerpt.
  2. Log each tier’s verdict and route to handoff if neither passes.
  3. Compare completed-workflow cost and mistaken answers, not just price per model call.
Worth knowing

The 50-question comparison is a small, noisy test; it includes two answerable handoffs, not a guarantee of zero mistakes.
