Reference case study · no client data

Turn one authorized document into data your workflow can review.

This is a reference workflow, not a customer success claim. It shows a bounded route from one permitted PDF or image to schema-aligned JSON, with source validation and a human hand-off kept visible.

Two bounded contracts

Extract first. Normalize only where your process needs it.

The workflow uses an explicit document extraction contract and, when needed, a separate normalization step. Each response is inspectable before any downstream routing occurs.

Validate and extract

DocuStruct accepts a supported PDF or image, validates the binary signature and returns only the requested structured fields.

Normalize a known shape

JSON-Forge can organize accompanying unstructured text into the shape a downstream workflow expects, without treating raw prose as a final record.

Route with a checkpoint

A workflow sends validated output onward only after the operating team reviews required fields, missing values and applicable exceptions.

Reference flow

A four-step hand-off with visible limits.

01

Confirm the input boundary

Use a document you are allowed to process. Exclude credentials, restricted records and unnecessary personal information before the request is made.

02

Ask for a small JSON shape

Define the minimum fields the process needs, such as document type, reference and primary text. Missing values remain visible rather than guessed.

03

Inspect extraction and validation

Review the returned JSON, file-validation state and any exceptions. A successful API response is not a substitute for a business decision.

04

Route only the approved record

Pass the verified output to an existing webhook or system of record. Hold exceptions for the operating team instead of silently completing an automation.

Illustrative output shape

What a reviewer can inspect before an integration runs.

The model below is only a field layout. It does not represent a customer document, a processed invoice or an accuracy result.

Source boundary

Authorized file type, declared purpose and request timestamp.

File validation

Declared MIME type compared with the file signature before protected processing.

Requested fields

A small schema such as document type, reference and primary text.

Extracted values

Only values returned in the specified JSON shape, with unknowns preserved.

Validation status

Field-level checks and exceptions that still require a human decision.

Route decision

Approved, needs review or do not route — decided by the operating team.

Guardrails

Trust comes from visible boundaries, not a promise of automatic correctness.

Authorized inputs only

Submit public, owned or otherwise authorized documents. Do not upload credentials or restricted source records into the demo.

Schema before routing

Make the requested shape explicit and validate required fields before handing the result to an operational system.

Human review remains required

The API creates a structured record. Approval, corrections and downstream actions stay with the responsible operating team.
