Evaluation tip
Test with your hardest 25 documents, not a demo set. Compare field accuracy, citation quality, latency, review effort, and total platform work.
Questions to ask during evaluation
Ask whether the platform returns source citations with every field, how schema changes are versioned, what happens to low-confidence fields, how webhook retries are signed, and whether audit logs include model version, prompt version, reviewer ID, and validation status.
