How it works

AI at scale. Human review where it matters.

SmartComply scores every converted page, flags lower-confidence content and directs attention to the documents most likely to need review.

Page-level quality scoring
1
Convert every page
2
Assign page scores
3
Calculate document score
4
Flag low-scoring pages
5
Targeted human review

Page-level results contribute to an overall document score, while individual lower-scoring pages remain clearly flagged. Content falling below the configured threshold can be reviewed and reprocessed instead of being silently published.
