FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your document automation tools built for regulated industries?

Yes. Regulated deployments get source-linked extraction, confidence thresholds, a human review queue for anything below threshold, and a full audit log of every field and who approved it.

What accuracy should a documents processing company deliver?

We benchmark against your current manual process on a sample of your real documents during the proof of concept, and agree the threshold before build. Anything below it routes to a reviewer rather than through to your system.

Can you process documents we cannot send to a public AI model?

Yes — sensitive pipelines run on models deployed in your own cloud tenancy or on self-hosted open models, with no data leaving your environment.

How long does a document processing project take?

Proof of concept on your own documents in 2–4 weeks from £5,000; production pipeline with integration and review workflow in 6–12 weeks from £15,000.

What is AI document processing and how does it work?

AI document processing uses machine learning, optical character recognition (OCR), and natural language processing (NLP) to automatically extract, classify, and analyze data from documents—like invoices, contracts, forms, and PDFs—without manual input.

What types of documents can AI processing handle?

AI systems can process a wide range of documents, including:

What are the key benefits of using AI for document processing?

Major benefits include:

Is AI document processing secure and compliant with regulations?

Yes, leading providers follow strict data privacy and security standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Look for companies offering encrypted data handling, audit trails, and role-based access controls to ensure full compliance.

Can AI document processing integrate with my existing systems?

Absolutely. Most AI document processing companies offer APIs and pre-built connectors for popular platforms like Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft 365, and cloud storage systems like Google Drive or Dropbox, ensuring smooth integration into your current tech stack.
