What we do Measure it. Automate it.
Measure it. Automate it.
Stay in control.
We find the manual steps in your workflows that cost the most time and money, automate them with AI, and keep your team in the review seat throughout. Every engagement is measured from day one.
AI-powered automation
We build the automation layer — document processing, data extraction, classification, routing. Works across email, PDFs, scanned documents, and spreadsheets, in any domain.
How it worksHuman oversight & audit
Review queues, approval gates, completeness scoring, field provenance. Built for environments where full automation isn't appropriate — every output verified before it touches your system.
How review works Where we help The same approach,
The same approach,
across industries.
If your workflow has a step where someone reads something and types it into a system, that step is a candidate for automation. The AI handles the extraction. Your team handles the judgment.
Claims intake
Every claim arrives in a different format. We extract the structured data before your adjusters touch it — so they spend their time adjusting, not transcribing.
Prior authorization
Fax, PDF, portal submission — parsed into structured fields and routed to the right reviewer. No manual data entry before the clinical decision can begin.
Loan & application intake
Application documents, income verification, and supporting PDFs extracted and pre-populated for underwriting review. Faster decisions, fewer data entry errors.
Contract extraction
Key dates, parties, obligations, and clauses pulled from any contract format into your matter management system — ready for attorney review, not paralegal data entry.
Invoice & order processing
POs and invoices arriving by email, PDF, or EDI matched to your records and flagged for approval — without a team member manually re-keying every line item.
Title & deed intake
Multi-format title search requests — emails, scanned deeds, spreadsheets — parsed into 25 structured fields and queued for human review before the search begins.

Prior title found rate
up 6 points in 12 weeks.
A regional title company processes 350 title search requests per day. Since deployment, their prior title found rate is up 6 points — a direct result of better-structured intake data reaching the search workflow.
38%
Prior title found rate post-deployment — up from 32% before launch, across 350 daily requests.

What changed
Better data in. Higher prior title found rate out.
Every request — whether an informal email, a scanned photocopy, a digital PDF, or a spreadsheet — is now parsed automatically. The employee verifies the pre-populated data instead of typing it from scratch.
- 2.4 minutes of time saved per request, on average
- Prior title found rate up from 32% to 38% post-deployment
- Scanned documents processed via AI vision — no printing, no OCR failures
- Every record reviewed by a human before it reaches the order system
Our design principles AI pre-populates.
AI pre-populates.
Humans verify. Where it matters.
Full automation isn't right for every workflow — and neither is reviewing everything by hand. Our systems let you place human review exactly where risk warrants it, with the provenance and audit trail to trust the rest.
100% Outputs traceable to source
<2min Flagged record to review queue
YOU SET Where the review checkpoint lives
Human review where you want it
Put a review checkpoint on the workflows, fields, or confidence levels that need one — and let the rest flow through. The blank form is gone either way.
Field provenance
Every parsed value is tagged with its source. Reviewers can verify the AI's work against the original document in one click.
Completeness scoring
Each record shows the share of fields auto-populated vs. needing manual entry, so reviewers can triage at a glance.
Full audit trail
Original inputs are preserved alongside every record. The source that produced any extraction is always one click away.
