Reporting Use Cases

The Model auto-routed field separates usage where the tool chose the model from usage where a person did.

  • Interpreting unattributed models: An auto-routed record has an unattributed model ref because the provider never names the model it picked - not because the data is missing.

  • Measuring deliberate model choice: A high share of auto-routed usage means model-mix reporting covers only part of the picture, since the rest is not attributed to any model.
