The bottleneck

Documents are where good automation still quietly breaks

Most of the information your business runs on still arrives as a document. The tooling that reads those documents was built for a tidier world than the one your inbox actually receives.

Templates break on the first format change

Zonal OCR and rules assume a fixed layout. One new vendor, one redesigned form, one supplier who moved the total to the other side of the page - and extraction silently starts returning the wrong thing.

Scans and photos defeat plain OCR

Skew, stamps, handwriting, tables nested inside tables, a phone photo taken at an angle. Character recognition on its own can read letters but not structure, and certainly not meaning.

Manual keying can't scale or be audited

People are slower, more expensive and less consistent than anyone likes to admit. And when a keyed figure turns out to be wrong, there is no trail showing how it got there.

What Prism does

Reads the document. Understands it. Hands you data you can act on.

Prism combines OCR, vision-language models and LLM reasoning into one pipeline - so it works on the structure of a page and the meaning of what's on it, not just the pixels.

Reads any document

PDFs, scans, phone photos, forms, contracts, statements, spreadsheets - printed or handwritten. If a person can read it, Prism is built to read it too.

PDF & scanPhotoHandwriting

Understands layout, not just text

Tables, nested fields, multi-column pages and repeating line items come out with their structure intact - rows tied to the right columns, totals tied to the right table.

TablesLine itemsMulti-column

Classifies and routes

Point a mixed stream at Prism and it sorts each document by type - invoice, claim, contract, ID - and sends each to the extraction logic built for it. No pre-sorting by hand.

Extracts to your schema

You define the fields you need. Prism returns them in exactly that shape - the same keys, the same types - ready to drop straight into your ERP, database or downstream agent.

Validates against your rules

Line items should sum to the subtotal. Dates should be real. A policy number should match a pattern. Prism checks the business rules before anything leaves the pipeline.

Scores confidence, flags for review

Every field carries a confidence score. Whatever clears your threshold flows straight through; whatever doesn't goes to a person - never pushed downstream on a guess.

Watch Prism read a document

The extraction starts on its own as you reach it - watch the page get read and the fields land, each with its own confidence and its routing decision. Switch document types any time. This is an illustration of the output shape, not a live model call.

Every document type is a different extraction path underneath - same clean output on top.

Under the hood

Six steps from raw document to trusted data

The same pipeline runs whether one document arrives or ten thousand - and you decide, at every gate, how much a human sees.

1

Ingest

Documents arrive from email, upload, an API call or a watched folder - any format, no pre-processing required.

2

Classify

Prism identifies each document's type and splits multi-doc files, then picks the right extraction path for each.

3

Extract

Layout-aware models - OCR, vision and LLM together - pull fields, tables and line items with their structure.

4

Validate

Format checks, cross-field maths and your business rules run automatically against every extracted value.

5

Review

Anything below your confidence threshold lands in a human queue, pre-filled, with the source page beside it.

6

Export

Clean, structured data flows to your ERP, CRM, data platform or the next agent in the workflow.

Reference architecture

One governed pipeline, the right model for each field

Prism isn't a single model - it's an orchestration. Cheap, fast tools handle the easy fields; heavier reasoning is spent only where it earns its keep. Governance wraps the whole thing.

Trust, not hope

Nothing goes downstream on a guess

The difference between a demo and a system you can run your close on is what happens to the fields the model isn't sure about. Prism scores every one and routes accordingly.

In production

This isn't theory - we run it for finance teams today

The pattern behind Prism is already live in client environments. One example we can talk about:

Finance · AP automation
In production

Adaptive OCR + LLMs for invoice-to-PO matching

A finance team was matching supplier invoices against purchase orders by hand - slow, and easy to get wrong. We put an adaptive-OCR-plus-LLM pipeline into production that reads each invoice, extracts the line items, and matches them against the PO automatically. Manual verification and the errors that came with it both dropped, and the finance workflow moved noticeably faster.

Where teams point it next

Same engine, many document backlogs

The teams we work with put the same capability to work on claims intake, contract and clause extraction, KYC and onboarding documents, statement and expense processing, and compliance paperwork. Different documents, different rules - one pipeline underneath, configured to each.

Where Prism fits

Built for the industries that drown in documents

Wherever a regulated process depends on paperwork arriving, being read correctly and being defensible later - that's Prism's home ground.

Finance & AP

Invoice-to-PO matching, statement extraction, expense processing, remittance advice - straight into the ledger.

Insurance

Claims intake and first notice of loss, policy documents, ACORD forms, loss runs - read, validated and routed.

Healthcare

Intake and clinical forms, prior authorisation, explanation-of-benefits and claims - with an audit trail on every field.

Manufacturing

Spec sheets, certificates of compliance, supplier documents and bills of material - turned into structured records.

Legal & contracts

Party, term, renewal and liability extraction, clause and obligation tracking, renewal-date capture - across whole portfolios.

Lending & KYC

Application packs, ID verification, income and bank statements - extracted, cross-checked and onboarding-ready.

Why Prism, why us

The output is only as good as the guardrails around it

Plenty of tools can pull text off a page. Fewer are built so you'd stake a regulated process on the result. That gap is the whole point of Prism.

Built on your data

Prism is configured to your documents and your schema - not a generic template library you have to bend your process around.

Governed by design

Guardrails, field-level audit trails and evaluation gates come standard, through our Sentinel governance framework - not bolted on later.

Model-flexible

OCR, vision-language models and LLMs including Claude. We use the right tool for each field rather than forcing one blunt instrument across the page.

Human-in-the-loop where it counts

You set the confidence bar. People review the genuine edge cases; the machine handles the overwhelming majority that are obvious.

Deploys in your cloud

Runs on Databricks, AWS, Azure or GCP - inside your security perimeter, honouring your data-residency rules.

Not a black box

Every extracted value traces back to its spot on the source document, carrying its confidence and its lineage with it.

Solutions & Accelerators

Accelerators that make production faster - and safer.

Two kinds of reusable IP: the tooling we build and govern with, and the solutions that drop straight into a use case. Prism is one of the latter - and everything on the left is already underneath it.

Prism is a solution you drop into a use case. Forge runs the workflows it feeds, Blocks supplies the agent patterns underneath, and Sentinel governs every field it extracts.

Trust & governance

Extraction you can put in front of an auditor

Prism is built for regulated work. ISO/IEC 27001-certified delivery, governance aligned to the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF, an audit trail on every field, and data that never has to leave your environment. The result is a document pipeline you can defend - to your risk team, your regulator and your board.

Questions we get

Before you send us your documents

What kinds of documents can Prism actually handle?

Structured forms, semi-structured documents like invoices and purchase orders, and unstructured ones like contracts and letters - printed, scanned, photographed or handwritten. If the information lives in a document, Prism is built to read it and return it as data.

How is this different from off-the-shelf OCR or an IDP product?

Off-the-shelf OCR reads characters; template-based IDP reads a fixed layout. Prism combines OCR, vision and LLM reasoning so it works on documents it hasn't seen a template for - and it's configured to your schema, your rules and your governance, deployed in your environment rather than someone else's SaaS.

How accurate is it, and what happens when it's wrong?

Accuracy depends on your documents, so we baseline it on a real sample of yours before quoting anything. The more important design choice is what happens on the hard fields: every value carries a confidence score, and anything below your threshold is routed to a person rather than pushed through. You decide where that line sits.

Do our documents have to leave our environment?

No. Prism deploys inside your cloud - Databricks, AWS, Azure or GCP - within your security perimeter and data-residency rules. Documents and extracted data stay where they already live.

How long does it take to stand up?

A focused first use case - one document type, one workflow - is a matter of weeks, not quarters. We start with your hardest real documents, prove the extraction, then widen to more types and higher volumes from there.

What does Prism integrate with?

Anything with an API. Output flows to ERPs, CRMs, databases, your data platform, RPA tools or the next agent in a workflow. Input arrives by email, upload, API, webhook or a watched folder.

Can it read handwriting and poor-quality scans?

Yes - that's exactly the case plain OCR struggles with and where the vision and reasoning layers earn their place. Genuinely illegible fields come back flagged for review rather than guessed, so a bad scan never turns into bad data.

Have a document backlog worth solving?

Send us three of your hardest documents. On a 30-minute call we'll show you exactly what Prism extracts - fields, tables, confidence, review routing and all - from your real paperwork, not a demo.
