Designing an AI-based Document Analysis MVP

It is tempting to try to build a full AI product on the first attempt. In our experience, the more successful teams start with a sharply defined MVP: a narrow document type, a clear workflow, and a feedback loop with real users.

We discuss how we scope document analysis MVPs, how we choose between off-the-shelf and custom models, and how we keep the UX honest about what the system can and cannot do.

You will also see a few concrete examples from contract and report analysis projects we have worked on.
