Find the workflow cost before you fund the AI.
Extraction is the easy part. The cost is the review queue behind it. We price that, then design around it.

Document work is easy to under-count because it is spread across everyone. Nobody owns the queue, so nobody prices it — and the AI budget gets approved against a number no one has checked.
Getting text off a page is commodity technology now. Deciding what to do when the confidence score is 0.78 is where your people still spend their afternoons.
Half the delay is not processing at all — it is waiting on a counterparty, then chasing them, then re-checking whether the chase worked.
When an auditor asks why a document was accepted in March, reconstructing the answer takes a person a week — because the decision was never recorded as a decision.
Extraction is the commodity part. What matters is everything after it — and none of it runs unsupervised.
Documents arrive by upload, email or integration and land in one queue in one format.
Text, tables and fields are pulled out and mapped to your schema, whatever the source layout.
Values are checked against your systems of record, not accepted because a model was confident.
Clean documents are separated from the ones that need a human, on rules your team controls.
Anything ambiguous goes to a named reviewer with the source page and the flagged field already open.
Every acceptance is recorded with its evidence, so the audit trail exists before anyone asks for it.
Three inputs and an honest estimate — the same arithmetic the diagnostic starts from, before it goes and checks the assumptions against your actual process.
Your operation
Salary plus overhead — not the hourly wage. Most operations teams land between $35 and $60.
What it costs you
Plausibly recoverable
$462,000 – $630,000
a year, with a person still on the judgement calls
An estimate from three inputs, not a quote. It assumes 55–75% of this queue is rules-heavy enough to route away from people. The diagnostic replaces that band with a number derived from your actual process — and tells you if it is smaller than you hoped.

DNS Associates. Thousands of bank statements and invoices read by vision AI in minutes, where the same volume had been worked through by hand.
DNS Associates. Hundreds of hours given back to the team, on work that previously had to be keyed in one document at a time.
Reach Mobile. Document-heavy onboarding restructured around the handoffs between steps rather than the steps themselves.
Scans, photographs and mixed-format PDFs are read as images, so a statement that never existed as clean text is handled the same as one that did.
Vision AI reading bank statements and invoices at volume — the documents that arrive as scans and photographs rather than clean text, and that had been worked through by hand. Hundreds of man hours returned, and the reference we would walk you through on the call.
The diagnostic is free and it is not a discovery call. You leave with artefacts you can take into a budget conversation without us in the room.
What it arrives as: one board pack, three artefacts, yours whether or not we work together.
The single workflow carrying the most recoverable cost today — named, scoped, and separated from the ones that merely feel painful.
What that workflow costs you now, what it plausibly costs after, and the assumptions behind both — written down so your CFO can argue with them.
The order of work for the first quarter, with the controls, owners and adoption checkpoints that keep it from stalling at pilot.
Automate the handoffs, not just the tasks.
AI that survives audit, adoption, and operating reality.
Your backlog is a cost centre. Measure it first.
Forty-five minutes, a senior advisor, and three artefacts you keep. If the numbers do not support an engagement, we will tell you that on the call.
