## What has to be true to appear here

- Outputs structured fields with per-field confidence, not just document-level text
- Provides a human-in-the-loop review queue
- Handles scanned and photographed documents, not only digital PDFs
- Supports field-level accuracy measurement against ground truth

## What every product here was put through

1. Process 500 invoices across 60 vendor layouts, including 80 phone photographs, and score field-level accuracy against a hand-keyed ground truth
2. Measure calibration: when the product reports 95 percent confidence, how often is the field actually right?
3. Time the human review loop end to end for 100 documents
4. Introduce a new unseen layout and measure documents needed before accuracy stabilises
