Document intake and review
Pull the fields out of incoming documents, check them against your rules, and route only the exceptions to a person.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A form, contract or packet arrives by email, upload or portal.
How it runs today
- Someone opens every document and retypes the key fields.
- Missing signatures and mismatched values are found late.
- Nobody can say where a document is in the process.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Capture
Documents land in one watched location.
- 02 / Extract
Fields are read into a structured record with a confidence for each.
- 03 / Check
Rules flag missing, inconsistent or out-of-range values.
- 04 / Route
Clean records move on; exceptions go to a named reviewer.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- Reviewer approves every flagged record before it is filed.
- Low-confidence fields are always shown to a person.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Minutes per document, before and after.
Share of documents needing review.
Errors found after filing.
