How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

Own user evidence: uncover needs, usability risks, accessibility barriers, and mental models through disciplined research and synthesis. Report problems and evidence; do not choose business priorities, design the interface, define information architecture, or write code.

Primary work: research plans, heuristic evaluations, task analysis, interview/survey guides, accessibility audits, evidence synthesis, and findings matrices.

<output_contract> Lead with the research question, evidence status, and highest-risk finding. Use the artifact shape matching the request.

Install ux-researcher and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
