Audit-trail generation from system logs

A pipeline that turns raw system logs (auth events, access records, change history) into the audit narrative your compliance team can read — not a 50,000-line CSV nobody opens. AI summarisation, anomaly detection, and the workflow that satisfies SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA auditors without an eight-week prep cycle.

Auto-generate documentation from PRs and code

A continuous-integration pipeline that keeps your developer docs in sync with the codebase — drafting doc updates the moment a pull request (PR) merges, routing them to the docs owner for review, and stopping the gap between code and docs from growing into the year-long backlog you can't recover from.

Automated invoice and receipt processing

Get invoice and receipt data — vendor, amount, line items, dates, tax — out of PDFs and into your accounting system automatically, without someone keying numbers in by hand at 11pm. The approach that actually works on real vendor invoices, the checks that catch silent mistakes, and the human-review queue that handles the tricky cases.

Compliance evidence collection for SOC 2 / ISO 27001

A pipeline that pulls the screenshots, configurations, access logs, and policy snippets your auditor wants — automatically, on a schedule, organised by control. Turns "SOC 2 evidence collection week" into a continuous background process, and makes the auditor's questions take minutes instead of days.

Contract review and clause extraction

**Clause extraction** means pulling out the parts of a contract that matter — termination, liability, IP, renewal, governing law — and comparing each one to the terms your company normally accepts. Not legal advice, not legal review. A first-pass triage so your lawyer spends an hour on the contract that needs an hour, not an hour reading every routine NDA.

Customer health scoring from product and support signals

**Customer health scoring** is a single number per account that tells you which customers are healthy, which are drifting, and which are at real risk of cancelling. It's built from product usage, support interactions, billing events, and the softer signals you'd otherwise have to read every conversation to catch. The page covers the model that holds up across customer segments and the workflow that turns the score into actual renewal motion.

Data entry automation from scanned forms

Turn a backlog of paper forms — intake forms, applications, surveys, handwritten records — into structured rows in your CRM or database. **OCR** (optical character recognition — software that reads text from images and PDFs) handles the reading, an LLM (the technology behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) handles the structured extraction, and validation rules catch the inevitable misreads.

Document classification at scale

**Document classification** is the practice of assigning each file in an archive a consistent label — topic, department, sensitivity, doc-type — so you can route it, search it, or apply a retention policy. This piece uses embeddings (the way AI represents meaning as numbers) for the obvious cases and an LLM (the technology behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) only for the residual that needs reasoning. Includes the taxonomy that holds up, the routing layer that doesn't break under change, and the audit that catches the silent failures.

Expense report categorization and anomaly detection

**Anomaly detection** for expenses means a system that quietly sorts every submission into a category, checks each one against your policy, and only escalates the few that look unusual. The classification that holds, the signals that catch what humans miss, and the policy-violation flags that don't read as accusatory when they fire on the CEO.

Internal Q&A bot over company docs
