AI Document Processing
Extraction, classification and validation across formats you do not control.
Document processing is the single most transferable AI use case across industries, because every organization receives documents in formats it did not choose. The difference between a pilot that impresses and a system that survives production is almost entirely in how it handles the documents that do not fit the pattern.
Book a free consultationWhy this is usually broken
- Inbound documents arrive in formats the sender chose, not the recipient
- Classification errors cascade: a misrouted document is worse than an unprocessed one
- Regulated documents often cannot be sent to a third-party service at all
- Pilot accuracy on clean samples does not predict production accuracy on real mail
How we build it
Classify, then extract
Documents are classified before extraction so the right schema is applied, and low-confidence classifications are routed to a human rather than guessed.
Schema per document type
Each type has an explicit extraction schema with validation rules, so an out-of-range value is caught at the point of extraction.
Human-in-the-loop by design
A review queue is part of the initial build, not a later addition. Systems designed without one tend to hide their errors.
Runs inside your perimeter
On-premise deployment for regulated document types, which is usually the reason the project exists.
What changes
Figures are drawn from Senteras engagements and are illustrative of typical results. Outcomes vary by data quality, infrastructure and scope.
Common questions
How do you handle documents the system has not seen before?
They are classified as unknown and routed for review rather than forced into the nearest matching schema. Unknown-rate is a metric we track and drive down deliberately, because a system that never says "unknown" is misclassifying instead.
