Router flaw spotted: it picks models but never grades answers — grade-then-escalate fix proposed

In a router discussion, the author points out a real gap: today's routers only choose a model, they never grade the chosen model's response.
His proposed fix: for very cheap, weaker models, use Jev (GPT-5.6-Terra intelligence) to check the answer, then escalate to a smarter model. The catch — Jev isn't smarter than Fable/Astra and can't reliably grade their output, so grade-then-escalate only works for low-cost weak models.
