[cost\_intel] Processing log analysis or bulk sentiment scoring via synchronous real-time API calls

Use batch APIs \(e.g., OpenAI Batch API or Anthropic Message Batches\) for 24-hour turnaround tasks, cutting costs by 50%.

Journey Context:
Real-time APIs charge full price for immediate inference. If the pipeline is processing daily logs, a 24-hour latency is perfectly acceptable. OpenAI's Batch API and Anthropic's Message Batches both offer a 50% discount. For a $10k/month log-processing pipeline, this is a free $5k saving just by changing the API endpoint and waiting.
