FDEs for AI document processing
Use cases / Document processing
Invoices, claims, applications, contracts, medical records. If your team retypes documents into a system, FDEs for AI document processing build the extraction, checks and review queue that do it for them. They are forward deployed engineers who join your team part of the week or for a fixed period. You tell us who you need. We send people who fit.

Why document projects stall
The sample set works the real mailbox does not
Document AI demos well on clean samples. Real inputs are skewed scans, phone photos, forms from many suppliers, handwritten notes and bundled PDFs. Accuracy that looked high in a trial drops once the real mail arrives.
A forward deployed engineer builds on your real document mix from the start. They measure accuracy per field, add checks from your business rules, and send uncertain fields to a person rather than guessing.

How hiring an engineer for your documents works
- 01
Send your requirement
Tell us the document types, the fields, the system they feed and who signs off accuracy. It is free, and there is no deposit.
- 02
Get a shortlist
We read every requirement ourselves and look for people who fit. Then we send a shortlist: each person's CV and a short note on why they fit.
- 03
Talk to them and choose
You talk to whoever you like and choose. Bring your ugliest examples, and ask how they would handle them. You do not have to hire anyone.
- 04
Pay only when someone starts
One agreement and one invoice with us, on terms agreed in writing before anything starts. Talent never pays.
Constraints to plan around
| Constraint | What it means for the build |
|---|---|
| Sensitive data | Documents often carry personal, health or financial data. Processing runs in approved environments with the same controls as the source. |
| Audit trail | Every extracted value links back to the page and region it came from, plus who confirmed it. |
| Retention | Original files and extracted data follow your retention rules, not the model provider's defaults. |
| Accuracy by field | High-stakes fields get stricter thresholds and more human review than low-stakes ones. |

FAQ
Questions people ask
How accurate will it be?
Nobody can promise a figure before seeing your documents. The engineer measures accuracy per field on a labelled sample of your files, and the review queue covers the rest.
Can it read handwriting and scans?
Often, yes, with lower confidence than clean digital text. Those fields usually get more human review.
Do we need to label documents?
A modest labelled sample is needed to measure accuracy honestly. The engineer sets up a quick way for your team to label.
What systems can it write to?
Any with an API, database access or import format. ERP, claims, case management and CRM systems are common.
