Field notes
The demo exposes controls for monthly ticket volume, human-touch price, routing accuracy, confidence gate, and the costs assigned to different human outcomes. It also lets visitors test token-work changes, a smaller drafting model, and scenario changes such as doubled refunds; displayed figures are explicitly modeled, with wrong-route estimates depending on calibrated confidence and the people-only comparison excluding manual misroutes.
