not yet earned

I can extract structure from real documents and say where a vision-language model is worse than the boring parser it replaced.

The proof

document-extraction

Extraction over genuinely messy source documents, scored against a parser baseline on the same inputs.

What it has to contain

  • Extraction over genuinely messy documents, not clean samples
  • Scored against a non-vision parser baseline on identical inputs
  • A case where the vision model loses, with the reason

Where it stops working. Not established yet. Anyone can ship a demo; the boundary is the part that is worth reading, so this claim is not earned until it is written down.
