Reference workflow

How the work moves.

The sequence separates AI interpretation from deterministic controls and accountable human decisions.

  1. 01

    A document arrives through an approved intake channel.

  2. 02

    AI classifies the document and extracts required fields with source locations.

  3. 03

    Business rules validate values and identify missing or conflicting data.

  4. 04

    Exceptions move to a reviewer with the document and reason attached.

  5. 05

    Approved data updates the system of record and writes an audit event.

Controls to design

Boundaries before autonomy.

  • Schema and confidence validation
  • Deterministic business-rule checks
  • Human approval for exceptions and high-impact updates
  • Input, decision, override, and update history

Evidence to collect

  1. 01Field-level extraction accuracy
  2. 02Straight-through processing rate
  3. 03Exception resolution time
  4. 04Reconciliation between source and system of record
