[cost\_intel] Using o1 for simple structured data extraction from documents

Use GPT-4o for entity extraction \(names, dates, amounts\); reserve o1 for cross-document synthesis \('identify conflicting clauses between contract A and B'\).

Journey Context:
Extraction is local pattern matching; o1 adds no value and costs 10x more. But when checking consistency across 50 pages or between documents, the reasoning model's ability to track long-range dependencies is crucial. The quality cliff appears at 'cross-document consistency checking' or 'contextual verification >8k tokens'.
