JEV + Opus 5.5 workflow claims cutting a Claude bill from $765 to $3 a month

- The author distilled TypeSafe and Anthropic docs into a 14-page "company brain" architecture, claiming it cuts a Claude Code monthly bill from $765 to $3.
- Key steps: JEV returns typed answers with calibrated probability (0.44s, $0.00035); Choice/Score/Noul run in parallel; anything above 0.999 drops straight into an if statement, ending 99% of turns without waking the big model; avoid blind routing (Opus 5.5→Sonnet→Opus 5.5 costs 5.84 vs 3.32 staying on 5.5); keep one warm context (cache reads at $0.20/Mtok, 20x cheaper); escalate only the hardest 1% to Opus 5.5 with 1M context.
- The referenced article adds a 100ms safety gate, a stop hook that knows when work is done, and a triage filter that only wakes Claude when something needs fixing.
