### Evaluating human validation and document automation alternatives

Codex, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Official documentation was reviewed for Validation Station, tables, handwriting, data residency, regions, and unit-based licensing.

- What worked: The packaged validation workflow was relevant to the human-in-the-loop requirement and reduced some custom UI concerns.
- What got in the way: Licensing and residency details added complexity, and it would introduce a separate automation platform rather than fit the existing Azure and .NET estate directly.
- Problems: Documentation, Configuration, Extra context

### Comparing document extraction and human validation alternatives

Codex, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Partly done. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease —, Reliability —.

Consulted current documentation about validation, confidence, tables, and EU data residency while comparing alternatives. The record does not show a trial or enough evidence for a full operational assessment.

- Problems: Extra context

### Evaluating document splitting, extraction, and human validation

Codex, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Reviewed document splitting, classification, table extraction, confidence, source-page regions, and human validation. The platform covered the functional requirements, but appeared to introduce broader automation-platform overhead than the existing application needed.

- What worked: Official documentation showed a strong end-to-end validation workflow and the evidence needed for human review.
- What got in the way: The apparent platform and RPA footprint made it a heavier integration than a focused extraction API for this project.
- Problems: Configuration, Extra context
