Mixed documents passing through classification, extraction and validation, with one low-confidence field sent to a person

INTELLIGENT DOCUMENT PROCESSING

Document processing and structured data extraction

We build intelligent document processing that reads, extracts and validates information, with human review for exceptions and uncertain results.

  • Confidence scoring on every field, so automation is gated safely
  • A review queue where humans resolve only the exception fields
  • Validated output posted straight into your systems of record
THE IDP PIPELINE

A sequence of stages, each measurable and tunable.

The design of these stages determines how much work actually gets automated.

We lead with the pipeline because that is where the automation line is drawn. Intelligent document processing is one of our applied AI solutions and shares its extraction core with Structured Data Extraction. Pair the output with an approved downstream workflow to action it.

STAGE 01

Ingest and classify

Accept documents from email, upload, or scan, and identify each type so the right extraction logic applies. The right document meets the right pipeline.

STAGE 02

OCR and layout

Read text and understand structure: tables, key-value pairs, and signatures, not just flat characters. Structure, not just text.

STAGE 03

Extract

Pull the fields that matter using LLM and vision-language models that read messy, variable layouts. Variable layouts, not rigid templates.

STAGE 04

Validate

Check extractions against business rules, reference data, and cross-field logic; score every field. A confidence score on every field.

STAGE 05

Route

Send high-confidence documents straight through; queue low-confidence or exception fields for review. Straight through where it is safe.

STAGE 06

Learn

Feed human corrections back, so accuracy improves on the documents you actually see. Corrections become training signal.

High-confidence documents flow straight through, only the exceptions reach your team.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

Extraction, gating, and a review path that keeps automation safe.

  • Document classification and extraction tuned to your document types.
  • Confidence scoring and validation rules that gate automation safely.
  • A review queue where humans resolve only exception fields, not whole documents.
  • Integration that posts structured output into your systems of record.
  • A feedback loop that turns corrections into a rising straight-through rate over time.
WHERE THE AUTOMATION LINE SITS

Straight-through processing, or a human in the loop.

The most important decision in any deployment is where to draw the line. Set it too aggressively and errors slip through; too conservatively and you have automated nothing. We set the threshold per document type and field, aggressive where a mistake is cheap, conservative where it is not.

Field confidence above threshold, validations pass.Confidence below threshold, or a high-stakes field.
The system posts to your systems of record.A reviewer confirms or corrects in a queue.
Designed for immediate processing when every control passes.Designed to focus review time on exceptions.
High-volume, structured, repeatable documents.Ambiguous layouts, consequential values, low-frequency edge cases.

Reviewers do not re-key whole documents; they resolve only the flagged fields, so human effort concentrates where it adds value.

OUR APPROACH

Five steps, from a pile of documents to straight-through flow.

STEP 01

Classify the mix

Map your document types and volumes, and the fields each one has to yield.

STEP 02

Set the line

Agree the confidence threshold per document type and field from your risk appetite.

STEP 03

Build and validate

Extraction and validation tested against a labelled sample from your real long tail.

STEP 04

Integrate

Post structured output into your systems of record, where work already happens.

STEP 05

Close the loop

Reviewer corrections lift the straight-through rate on the documents you see most.

We will not quote you a headline accuracy number. On well-structured documents, field-level accuracy is genuinely high; on the messy long tail, poor scans, handwriting, unusual layouts, it is lower, which is exactly why the review queue exists. We measure field-level accuracy and straight-through-processing rate against a defined baseline, in production. We measure the right metric per use case, not a vanity number. Data handling aligns to Responsible AI and Governance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What teams ask us first.

High on structured documents, lower on the messy long tail, which is why confidence gating and a human review queue are built in. We measure field-level accuracy and straight-through-processing rate against your baseline in production, not a demo figure.

Yes. Classification routes each document to the right extraction logic, and LLM and vision-language models handle variable layouts rather than requiring a rigid template per format.

Straight into your systems of record. The goal is validated data where work already happens, not another screen your team has to check.

AUTOMATE THE DOCUMENTS THAT CLOG YOUR WORKFLOW

Tell us the document type costing you the most time, we will show the straight-through rate it can reach.

And where the human line should sit, so automation carries the routine load while your team keeps the exceptions.
