Is the Document Uploader always accurate?

We utilize best-in-class AI to extract data from uploaded documents and rigorously test the capability to achieve a 90%+ success rate. While we believe our document reader is close to perfect each time, we recommend you verify the data's accuracy on the Income Statement and Balance Sheet after you've uploaded a document.
