title: "LLMs Can Predict Failure Risk, But Struggle to Predict Which Collaboration Protocol Pays Off: Cost-Aware Protocol Routing Across Reasoning Tasks"
abstract: >-
  Research artifact for the EMNLP 2026 paper on cost-aware protocol routing.
  Releases matched four-protocol outcomes, fixed-order oracle labels, held-out
  router evaluations, and post-answer confidence analyses across ten
  model-condition settings.
