# Speculative Decoding Arbitrage Audit

Computes draft model acceptance rate thresholds (alpha) and verifies whether speculative decoding delivers net throughput/cost benefit over standard autoregressive decoding.

## When to Use
Use when benchmarking inference providers offering speculative decoding tiers.

## Limitations
Acceptance rates vary significantly across coding, math, and conversational domains.

## Verification Script
Run the deterministic stdlib checker:
```bash
python3 scripts/check.py examples/synthetic.json
```
Exits `0` on verified pass, `1` on failed assertion, `2` on malformed input.
