Research direction

Read the model-tiering guidance and cost advisor entry points to find where model recommendations are made. Add a recommendation to use a mid-tier orchestrator and escalate for named hard steps. Replay a workload and compare spend per merged PR, merge rate, and review recall; done when spend drops without either quality measure worsening.

Description

Field report (2026-10-19): the main orchestrating agent ran on the top tier and accounted for 57% of a $301 day.
Proposal: model-tiering guidance plus the cost advisor should flag a top-tier orchestrator and recommend a mid-tier default, with escalation only for a named hard step.
Done when: spend per merged PR drops on a replayed workload without a worse merge rate or review recall.
