Pattern
Modeling the latency-cost-quality frontier
Make the latency-cost-quality trade-off explicit through modeling rather than implicit through engineering intuition, so deployment decisions about model selection, routing, and infrastructure reflect the actual frontier rather than assumed trade-offs.
Classification — Explicit modeling of the three-way trade-off among latency, cost, and quality for deployment decisions.
