[cost\_intel] Fine-tuning models to match a specific brand voice or output format

Use a detailed system prompt with few-shot examples for style/tone alignment. Fine-tuning is overkill and less adaptable for pure style transfer.

Journey Context:
Fine-tuning is often misapplied to style/tone. A 500-token system prompt is cheaper to iterate on and just as effective for tone constraints. Fine-tuning shines when the model needs to learn a \*new capability\* or \*internalize a complex mapping\* \(e.g., translating a proprietary DSL to Python\) that cannot fit in a context window or requires eliminating token bloat at inference, not just adopting a tone.
