Two Uncertainties Are Not One: Disagreement versus Decision-Risk in Cheap Structured Content Moderation
Independent audit of a frozen System One model on 142,658 human-labeled comments, benchmarked against 14 frontier reasoning models. It reports AUROC 0.83, ~USD 0.000025 per call, ~100 ms, and separates human disagreement from decision risk.

It runs an independent audit of one frozen System One model on 142,658 human-labeled comments and benchmarks it against 14 frontier reasoning models on a shared probe set.
Its zero-shot classification AUROC is 0.83, which the paper says is not statistically separable from 13 of the 14 frontier systems under a paired bootstrap with n=56.
The paper reports about USD 0.000025 per call and roughly 100 ms latency, which it contrasts with running a frontier LLM on every post.
It separates human disagreement, where annotators split on satire and coded language, from decision risk, where the automatic action is costly-wrong under an asymmetric moderation loss.
No. The paper argues the two uncertainties call for opposite escalation signals, so no single confidence number serves both.
Because extra questions are priced at nearly zero, it decomposes the judgment into parallel sub-questions and reads their spread, which recovers a signal the model's native confidence misses.
It helps the weakest, disagreement-blind models and only when the decomposition aligns with the sources of disagreement; a specialist toxicity model and the strongest LLMs do not need it, and the effect is distribution-sensitive.
