Model Golf: pick models, add a backup, beat par

Illustrative simulation using a fixed 10-ticket scorecard. Costs and pass rates are game inputs, not verified model benchmarks or production savings. Sample players on the leaderboard; your best round stays in this browser. Method and game data.

How to play

Pick cheap.
Back it up. Beat par.

The lowest cost per 1,000 support tickets wins.

A cheap model misses a ticket. The backup only sees that one.

1Pick a main model.It answers every ticket. You see each price, not the score.
2Add a backup.It only runs, and only bills, on the tickets the main model got wrong.
3Tee off.See which tickets passed. Sink all 10 and your cost per 1,000 tickets is your score.

Illustrative simulation, not a model benchmark. The game knows which answers are wrong; a production system needs its own checks.
