Who this is for
Finance, operations, and admin leaders whose team spends its day reading documents and re-typing what they say: accounts payable, applications, claims, delivery notes, contracts. The documents are repetitive, the volume is steady, and the errors are expensive.
What makes it urgent
- The volume of documents has outgrown the people typing them.
- Errors from re-keying are reaching customers, suppliers, or auditors.
- A vendor demo promised automation, and the team wants to know what would actually hold up.
What usually breaks
- Two people key the same invoice, and neither matches the purchase order.
- Uncertain cases are guessed rather than escalated.
- Nobody measures accuracy, so nobody trusts the result.
Scope and price
What shapes the scope and price.
Every project is priced from a written scope. These are the factors that move it most.
Number of document types
Each document type needs its own fields, validation rules, evaluation set, and review screen, so the count of types shapes the scope directly.
Document variety and quality
Many supplier layouts, handwriting, and poor scans require more evaluation and more review handling than clean, consistent, digitally generated documents.
Matching and posting rules
Extracting fields is one step, while matching to orders and receipts and posting to the system of record adds business rules and exception handling.
Data handling requirements
Restrictions on where documents are processed, which model providers may see them, and how they are retained shape the architecture and hosting choices.
Property services company
Accounts payable staff review only the invoices the model is unsure about.
In a property services company, accounts payable often means reading supplier invoices from several inboxes and keying each one into accounting by hand. A first release handles that single document type: it extracts the fields and matches them to purchase orders. Anything below the confidence threshold goes to a review screen with the original alongside, and exceptions carry a reason and an owner. Before launch, accuracy is measured on a set of the company’s real invoices and written down, and monitoring continues after. The next phase can post confident invoices directly, with sampling.
