[cost\_intel] Using 4o for analyzing 100\+ page contracts for subtle logical contradictions

Use o1 for long-document consistency checking; 4o misses cross-reference errors spanning >50 pages due to attention decay

Journey Context:
Instruct models suffer from 'lost in the middle' on long contexts. o1's reasoning architecture handles long-range dependencies better, critical for legal/financial doc review. 4o misses contradictions between page 5 and page 95; o1 catches them. The 10x cost is justified when the error cost is a $50M lawsuit.
