Human Review and Confidence
In healthcare, a wrong number costs more than a slow one. This category covers how extraction confidence scores work, how to set the threshold a field must clear before it skips review, how review queues and reviewers run, and how to measure accuracy honestly with validation rules, cross field checks and ground truth test sets.
