Abstract

A 75x gap separates $0.04 budget AI extraction from $3.00 enterprise per document; measure all-in cost per accepted page, not API prices, before automating. Independent technical note mirroring the canonical version: https://indexical.dev/blog/ai-web-scraping-measure-all-in-cost-per-accepted-page-before-automating.php
