To summarize moderation text using the Claude API in Node.js, set a per-tenant token budget before sending a report to a summarizer. That is the decision rule I would ship: use Claude for concise first-pass summaries when the provider boundary can expose usage, then keep the original report and route ambiguous output to a human. The budget belongs beside the tenant ID, not in a global dashboard.

This is a B2B SaaS workflow. A tenant submits a report, the service asks a model for a short review brief, and a human reviewer sees the brief with the source text. The useful engineering question is less "which model wins?" than "can I explain this tenant's usage and recover when the summary is incomplete?"

The summary is not the decision.

The data flow is small: validate the report, estimate its input size, check the tenant budget, request a concise summary, and store the result with the original report.…
