Invoice processing, contract analysis,
KYC and claims — AI on top of your stack, not in place of it.
Every mid-market business runs document workflows that consume hours and create errors. AI shifts most standardised document work from manual to straight-through, reads contracts at scale, and flags compliance exposure before it lands in audit. We do this on top of the ERP, contract repository, and document store you already use.
What ships
Three places AI moves document numbers.
Each one is a candidate for a Discovery sprint and a 2–4 week first-production deployment via the Fractional team.
AI invoice processing
Three-way match (PO + receipt + invoice) on standardised invoices, with anomaly flagging on outliers. Industry research suggests 70–95% straight-through processing on standardised docs is achievable — the actual number depends on your supplier mix, which we measure first.
Contract analysis & extraction
Pull obligations, renewal dates, indemnity exposures, change-of-control clauses, and unusual terms across a contract corpus. Search-by-meaning across 10K contracts in seconds. Surfaces what's hidden in the back-office.
KYC, claims, applications
Document classification + structured extraction on identity docs, claims forms, application packets. Eval-first deployment so your compliance team can defend the AI's decisions in audit.
How document AI actually works
Extract, structure, evaluate — in that order.
The reason most document-AI pilots stall isn't the OCR. It's the eval methodology that was never agreed, the edge-case taxonomy that was never written down, and the human-review path that was never wired. We do all three before any model goes near production.
What we ship
What's in a first-production document-AI deployment.
Not an OCR tool license. A working extraction-and-structuring workflow that runs every day on your real document stream and writes its outputs into the system that already owns the next step.
Document taxonomy + edge-case catalogue
Which document types matter, what counts as standardised vs. exception, where the human-review threshold sits. Written down before any model runs.
Baseline measured against current process
Cycle time, error rate, manual-touch rate per document. Current numbers before AI numbers — same as ScienceDirect's published study showing extraction accuracy can rise from 53.8% to 81.4% when full-context training data is fed in.
Extraction + structure + validation chain
OCR / vision model → field-level extraction → schema validation → confidence scoring → human-review queue for the low-confidence items. Each layer auditable separately.
Eval methodology signed off in writing
What's a successful extraction (per field), what's a regression, what triggers a rollback. Agreed before training starts.
Human-in-the-loop where confidence is low
Below the confidence threshold, items route to a human reviewer. Reviewer feedback retrains the model. The threshold itself moves down as accuracy proves out.
Audit-trail by design
Every extracted field carries a provenance record — source document, extraction confidence, reviewer override (if any), final value used downstream. Compliance-defensible from day one.
Where it fits
Four buyer profiles we ship for.
Document work is the horizontal pain across mid-market — every function has it. These are the slots where we see the largest ROI signal.
CFO / Controller — AP automation
Invoice-volume that overwhelms a small AP team, outsourcing fees climbing, close cycle dragging on reconciliation. Industry research suggests 50–80% reduction in manual AP touch is achievable — your number depends on supplier mix and exception rate, which we measure in the Discovery sprint. Cross-link: Mid-Market AI Transformation Roadmap.
GC / Compliance — contract review
Contract corpus in the thousands, renewal-date visibility patchy, change-of-control exposure invisible until M&A diligence. AI reads what nobody has time to. Eval-first deployment for audit defensibility.
COO — operations document workflows
Order processing, claims handling, application intake, regulatory filings — high-volume document pipelines that scale-with-headcount today and shouldn't. AI shifts most of the volume to straight-through, exception-only to humans.
CHRO — recruitment & HR docs
Resume parsing at volume, application intake automation, employee policy Q&A, benefits document classification. Recovers HR-team hours that scale with headcount today.
