Judgment becomes a cheap, embeddable control, not a model choice

TypeSafe AI's Jev paper calls its classifier "a 1958 perceptron with modern cost," while Vercel's Decisions API docs frame scoring and routing as a primitive separate from text generation, and UX Collective's bounded-delegation framework argues authority should narrow as stakes rise.
