+# Model Router
+
+Intelligent, explainable, cost- and latency-aware LLM request routing platform and AI Traffic Control Room.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Model Router intercepts incoming AI requests, analyzes their task type and complexity, evaluates available models against a configurable multi-criteria scoring objective, selects the optimal candidate, and dispatches the request with automatic fallback handling and budget guards.
+
+The platform is designed local-first, allowing full local development and testing using Mock models or local Ollama instances without requiring paid external API keys.
+
+---
+
+## Core Capabilities
+
+- Dual-Mode Request Analyzer: Deterministic heuristics (<3ms latency overhead) for 12 task types, continuous complexity scoring (0.0 to 1.0), and requirement detection, plus an optional LLM classifier mode.
+- Explainable Routing Engine: Multi-criteria weighted scoring across Quality, Cost Efficiency, Speed, Capabilities, and Reliability with transparent decision factor reports and candidate rejection logs.
+- Provider Abstraction: Decoupled adapters for Mock (simulation), Ollama (local), OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini.
+- Resilience and Fallback: Automated retry classification for transient errors (timeouts, HTTP 429, 503) and tiered fallback to local/mock alternatives.
+- Budget Guards: Real-time spend tracking with automated threshold interventions (80% cost optimization, 95% local-only saver, 100% block).
+- Traffic Control Room UI: Real-time dark operational interface featuring live topology graphs, playground inspector, SSE live request stream, visual rules builder, and cost savings simulator.
+- Developer CLI: Terminal diagnostics (`modelrouter doctor`), routing dry-run (`route`), execution (`run`), model catalog (`models`), and analytics (`analytics`).

+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Prerequisites
+- Python 3.10+
+- Node.js 18+ and npm
+
+### 2. Backend Setup
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/your-org/model-router.git
+cd model-router
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Run system diagnostics
+python backend/app/cli/main.py doctor
+
+# Start API server (port 8000)
+python backend/main.py
+```
+
+### 3. Frontend Setup
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm install
+npm run dev
+# Access UI at http://localhost:5173
+```
+
+---
+
+## CLI Usage Examples
+
+```bash
+# Inspect routing decision for a coding prompt (Dry Run)
+python backend/app/cli/main.py route "Write a Python function to parse JSON"
+
+# Route and execute a complex debugging query
+python backend/app/cli/main.py run "Debug this distributed async deadlock in high-throughput worker pool"
+
+# List active models in registry
+python backend/app/cli/main.py models
+
+# View aggregate system analytics
+python backend/app/cli/main.py analytics
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing & Build Verification
+
+```bash
+# Run backend test suite (15 unit, integration, and e2e tests)
+pytest backend/tests
+
+# Build frontend production bundle
+cd frontend
+npm run build
+```
