Evaluating document automation vendors using per-field accuracy is misleading; the real metric that matters is document-level straight-through rate, which many vendors don't provide.

Workarounds Described

• Uses spreadsheet to calculate compound probability of errors
• Manually asks vendors for straight-through rate because vendors don't volunteer it
• Checks validation against ERP manually because extracted fields may not match source system

Implied Software Gaps

• A tool that automates document-level accuracy testing with sample data
• A centralized database of vendor straight-through rates from real deployments
• Integration with ERP systems to validate extracted data against source of truth

DocuTruth Validator

A vendor-agnostic evaluation and benchmarking platform that independently measures document-level straight-through rate for document automation systems, providing standardized testing and transparent comparison across vendors.
