AI Document Validation

Using AI to extract document fields, then deterministic rules to decide whether a packet is payable.

AI document validation is not “chat with a PDF.” Extraction handles layout variance; rules encode authorization policy. For freight, the commercial unit is a validation decision (Approve / Review / Reject) before payment — selling trust, not OCR.

Buyers should separate three layers: capture (get the PDFs), extraction (read fields), and decisioning (compare to authorized terms). Jorora’s wedge is the decision layer for FTL carrier invoices against rate confirmations, with optional POD/BOL evidence. OCR alone does not tell AP whether to pay.
