+## Overview
+
+**Brick Complexity Extractor** is a LoRA adapter fine-tuned on [Qwen3.5-0.8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B) that classifies user queries into three complexity tiers: **easy**, **medium**, and **hard**. It is a core signal in the [Brick Semantic Router](https://github.com/regolo-ai/brick-SR1), Regolo.ai's open-source multi-model routing system.
+
+The adapter adds only **~2M trainable parameters** on top of the 0.8B base model, making it fast enough to run as a pre-inference classification step with negligible latency overhead (<15ms on a single GPU).
+
+## The Problem: Why LLM Routing Needs Complexity Classification
+
+Not all prompts are equal. A factual recall question ("What is the capital of France?") and a multi-step reasoning task ("Derive the optimal portfolio allocation given these constraints…") require fundamentally different compute budgets. Sending every query to a frontier reasoning model wastes resources; sending hard queries to a lightweight model degrades quality.
+
+**Brick** solves this by routing each query to the right model tier in real time. Complexity classification is one of several routing signals (alongside keyword matching, domain detection, and reasoning-depth estimation) that Brick uses to make sub-50ms routing decisions.
+
+```

+| **Trainable parameters** | ~2M (LoRA rank 16, alpha 32) |
+| **Total parameters** | ~875M (base + adapter) |

+
+## Architecture
+
+The adapter applies LoRA to the query and value projection matrices (`q_proj`, `v_proj`) across all attention layers of Qwen3.5-0.8B, with a classification head on top of the last hidden state.
+
+```
+Qwen3.5-0.8B (frozen)
+    └── Attention Layers × 24
+         ├── q_proj ← LoRA(r=16, α=32)
+         └── v_proj ← LoRA(r=16, α=32)
+    └── Last Hidden State
+         └── Classification Head (3 classes)
+```
+
+## Label Definitions
+
+| Label | Reasoning Steps | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **easy** | 1–2 | Surface knowledge, factual recall, simple lookups | "What is the capital of Italy?" |
+| **medium** | 3–5 | Domain familiarity, multi-step reasoning, comparison | "Compare REST and GraphQL for a mobile app backend" |
+| **hard** | 6+ | Deep expertise, multi-constraint optimization, creative synthesis | "Design a distributed cache eviction policy that minimizes tail latency under bursty traffic" |

+
+## Integration with Brick Semantic Router
+
+Brick Complexity Extractor is designed to work as a signal within the **Brick Semantic Router** pipeline. In a typical deployment:
+
+1. **Query arrives** at the Brick router endpoint
+2. **Parallel signal extraction** runs complexity classification alongside keyword matching, domain detection, and reasoning estimation
+3. **Routing decision** combines all signals to select the optimal model from the pool
+4. **Query forwarded** to the chosen model (e.g., Qwen 7B for easy, Llama 70B for medium, Claude for hard)
+
+```python
+# Brick router configuration example (brick-config.yaml)
+signals:
+  complexity:
+    model: regolo/brick-complexity-extractor
+    weight: 0.35
+  domain:
+    model: regolo/brick-domain-classifier  # coming soon
+    weight: 0.25
+  keyword:
+    type: rule-based
+    weight: 0.20
+  reasoning:
+    type: heuristic
+    weight: 0.20
+
+model_pools:
+  easy:
+    - qwen3.5-7b
+    - llama-3.3-8b
+  medium:
+    - qwen3.5-32b
+    - llama-3.3-70b
+  hard:
+    - claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+    - deepseek-r1
+```
+
+## Intended Uses
+
+### ✅ Primary Use Cases
+- **LLM routing**: Classify query complexity to route to the optimal model tier, reducing inference cost by 30–60% compared to always-frontier routing
+- **Reasoning budget allocation**: Decide how many reasoning tokens to allocate before inference begins
+- **Traffic shaping**: Balance GPU load across model pools based on real-time complexity distribution
+- **Cost monitoring**: Track complexity distribution over time to optimize fleet sizing
+
+### ⚠️ Out-of-Scope Uses
+- **Content moderation or safety filtering** — this model classifies cognitive difficulty, not content safety
+- **Non-English queries** — trained on English data only; accuracy degrades significantly on other languages
+- **Direct use as a chatbot or generative model** — this is a classification adapter, not a generative model
+
+## Limitations
+
+- **Label noise**: The training labels were generated by Qwen3.5-122B, not human annotators. While LLM-as-judge achieves high inter-annotator agreement on complexity, systematic biases may exist (e.g., overweighting mathematical content as "hard")
+- **Class imbalance**: The "hard" class represents only 13.5% of training data, which may lead to lower recall on genuinely hard queries
+- **Domain coverage**: The training set covers general-purpose user prompts. Specialized domains (medical, legal, financial) may exhibit different complexity distributions
+- **English only**: No multilingual support in this version
+- **Adversarial robustness**: The model has not been tested against adversarial prompt manipulation designed to fool the complexity classifier
