Metric Freedom (F), quantified via Mantel test on output diversity and score variance, predicts when single-agent skill distillation from multi-agent systems will succeed, enabling up to 8x cost and 15x latency reductions across tested tasks.
PSM estimates ATT only -- using PSM as ATE gives ~40% MRE when treated/control populations differ

From Multi-Agent to Single-Agent: When Is Skill Distillation Beneficial?
Metric Freedom (F), quantified via Mantel test on output diversity and score variance, predicts when single-agent skill distillation from multi-agent systems will succeed, enabling up to 8x cost and 15x latency reductions across tested tasks.
