# An advisor model can guide a cheaper executor

## Observation

The advisor-tool pattern lets a fast executor request bounded analysis from a stronger model while keeping control of the task loop.

## Why it matters

Role-based routing offers a concrete way to combine strong planning with low-cost execution instead of sending every token to the same frontier model.

## Provenance
