Route a Founder Task to the Right Claude Surface

The founder gets a pure routing function that takes a task's structured attributes and returns the correct Claude surface, applying the book's surface-selection logic deterministically across any list of tasks.

You receive: A pure function route(task) -> surface, where task = { touchesCode: bool, needsFileOrConnectorAccess: bool, producesFinishedArtifact: bool, isQuickExchange: bool } and surface in {chat, cowork, code}. The function is graded on hidden input->output cases.

Part of Choose Business Model

What's verified: STUD verifies the function reproduces the documented routing decision on hidden input->output cases that exercise each branch and the precedence/tie-break params. STUD does NOT verify that the resulting surface is genuinely the best tool for a real-world task, nor that the four boolean attributes fully capture a task; it grades conformance to the specified decision rule, not real-world tool-fit quality.
