Document Data Extractor
Returns the fields it can actually read, and says so about the rest
5 of 8 extracted documents need attention.
8 extracted documents checked. 5 flagged.
Start with CV-78. CV has the most flagged.
Whether a filled value is right is for the reviewer to check against the document; the list only counts what is empty or unchecked.

What to do this week
- Resolve CV-78 first: it is the most urgent on the list.
- Fix the data or the status on every flagged row, then re-run.
- Re-run this check every time the list changes, before it reaches a decision.
Do
- Fix the highest-risk item first, then run the check again on fresh data.
Don't
- Don't act on one row alone: open the source record first.
How to improve
- Add more detail per row (owner, date, source) so the next report can trace each item.
- Add a second period of data so the next report can show whether things are improving.

Overview
Turning documents into rows is the most-copied automation on every platform, and almost all of it fails the same way: every field comes back filled. A total it could not read becomes a plausible number, a date it guessed becomes a date, and the row enters your ledger looking identical to the rows that were read correctly.
Extraction is only worth anything if you know which fields to trust. This agent scores every field it returns, refuses to supply a value it cannot support, and distinguishes a field that is absent from the document from one that is present and unreadable — because the first needs a question and the second needs a better scan.
It also checks the document against itself: lines that do not sum to the stated total, a date after the document's own issue date, a currency that changes mid-page. Those are the errors that survive every confidence score, because each individual field looked fine.
Benefits
Only review what needs it
Low-confidence fields are flagged; the rest pass.
Nothing silently wrong
The failure mode of every other extractor is a wrong number that looks right.
Catches the sender's mistakes too
Internal inconsistencies are found on the way through.
What it does
A confidence on every field
You know which values to trust before they reach a ledger, not after an audit.
Blank rather than plausible
A field it cannot read comes back empty. A guessed total is worse than a missing one.
Absent and unreadable are different
One needs a question to the sender, the other needs a better scan.
Checks the document against itself
Lines that do not sum, a date after the issue date, a currency that changes mid-page — errors every field-level score misses.
Your schema, not ours
It extracts the fields you asked for, and says which of them the document does not contain.
Writes nowhere
It returns data. Putting it into your systems is a step you control.
What this changes
What this changes about your week
- It takes over
- Typing documents into a system, field by field.
- Done today by
- Whoever is cheapest, which is why the errors are found late.
- How often
- Every invoice, form and statement that arrives.
- Typical manual effort
- A few minutes per document, multiplied by everything that comes in.
Why Operations in particular. It leaves blank what it cannot read. Every other extractor returns a plausible number that looks exactly like a correct one, and nobody checks.
Runs unattended
Started by you or by an event, and it finishes on its own. Nothing waits for someone to be at a desk.
The same standard every time
The two-hundredth item is held to the bar the first one was. Consistency is the part people cannot sustain.
It cannot act on its own
Document Data Extractor has no path to sending, spending or committing. That limit is why its output is safe to act on.
How it runs
This agent runs server-side through the PROMIVO runtime. Each run is logged step by step and every tool call is permission-checked before it executes.

FAQ
Does it read scanned images?
It works from the text you supply, including text produced by your own scanning. Where that text is garbled it reports the field as unreadable rather than guessing what it probably said.
Why leave fields blank?
Because a plausible wrong value is the expensive failure. A blank field asks a question; a guessed one answers it wrongly and nobody checks.
Can it write into our system?
No. It returns structured data with confidences. What you do with a low-confidence row is a decision, and it should be yours.
