Earlier quoted context omitted.
then please elaborate on "complexities involved down the funnel" and where I am misunderstanding with examples.
A few that we experience as we’re building Trellis out: 1. Managing end-to-end workflows from integrating with data sources, automatically triggering new runs when there’s new data coming in, and keeping track of different business logic that’s involved (i.e. I want to classify the type of the emails and based on that apply different extraction logic) 2. Most out-of-the-box solutions only get you 95% of the way there…

#93Great use case! Worked on exactly this a decade ago. It was Hard™ then. Could only make so much progress. Getting this right is a huge value unlock. Congrats!

#95> a major commercial bank I work with couldn’t improve credit risk models because critical data was stuck in PDFs and emails. Great use case! Worked on exactly this a decade ago. It was Hard™ then. Could only make so much progress. Getting this right is a huge value unlock. Congrats!

#96We built something tangentially related at SoundTrace. Basically when we onboard a new client they dump all their audiograms on us as PDFs. The data needs extraction needs to be perfect because the tables values are used to detect hearing loss over time. We settled on a pipeline that looks roughly like PDF -> gpto pre filter phase -> OCR to extract text tables and forms -> things branch out here We do a direct parse…
