How Collate turns raw documents into trusted decisions

A transparent look at the pipeline, rules engine and data flow that power document intelligence — from ingestion to audit-ready reporting.

The extraction pipeline

Step 1

Ingest

PDF, Excel & Word files are uploaded and normalized into a canonical document model.

Step 2

Extract

The extraction engine detects fields, tables & entities with confidence scoring.

Step 3

Compare

Values are aligned across documents; the diff engine flags discrepancies.

Step 4

Review

Reviewers approve, reject or resolve findings with full traceability.

Step 5

Report

Audit-ready reports are generated and exported in PDF, XLSX or DOCX.

Weekly processing throughput

Documents & fields processed across the workspace.

Extraction accuracy by format

Field-level precision across supported file types.

Rules engine

Deterministic rules evaluate every extracted field and drive the review workflow.
