Structured data extraction cost drivers
Extraction workloads are often input-heavy, while validation failures and repair calls can make retries a larger cost driver than expected.

What to measure
- Track valid-schema rate and repair calls.
- Keep field descriptions concise.
- Batch similar records only when provider limits and privacy rules allow it.
Estimate boundary: Document parsing, OCR, validation infrastructure, and failed-record handling are outside this token estimate.
