Report #40163

[cost\_intel] Using GPT-4o/Claude Sonnet for high-volume structured data extraction from text

Route to GPT-4o-mini/Claude Haiku with strict JSON schema enforcement; expect <2% quality drop for 10-20x cost reduction.

Journey Context:
Frontier models excel at nuance, but structured extraction $e.g., pulling name, date, amount from invoices$ has zero nuance. The quality degradation signature to watch for isn't bad extraction, but hallucinated defaults on missing fields. Enforce \`required\` arrays strictly. Cost drops from ~$3/M tokens to ~$0.15/M tokens.
