The document is only the start.
The real work happens after a PDF or form arrives: reading it, checking it, moving the data, asking for missing items, and deciding who reviews exceptions.
01
Define the document job
Be specific about what the workflow needs from each document. Extraction without a destination is just another pile of data.
Fields to capture
Source of truth
Validation rules
Output location
02
Design for ugly files
Real documents are incomplete, duplicated, scanned badly, or named in strange ways. A useful system expects that.
Missing fields
Low-confidence values
Duplicate uploads
Manual review queue
03
Connect the next action
The workflow should not stop at extraction. It should update systems, draft messages, and route exceptions to the right owner.
CRM or accounting update
Task creation
Reminder draft
Exception owner
Questions to ask before the first sprint
Which documents create the most rework?
What fields must be checked by a human?
Where should extracted data land?
