Build a document sourcing brief around the information your model must understand, the evidence reviewers need, and the variability it will encounter in use.
Start with business artifacts
Describe the document types and workflow: invoices, purchase orders, reports, product specifications, or operational forms. Define whether a training example contains a page, a complete file, or a linked bundle. Separate authentic operational artifacts from synthetic or staged examples so the origin of each subset remains visible.
Design meaningful coverage
Specify languages, source organizations, template families, scan conditions, and complex tables. Request counts for important intersections rather than a single file total. Include unusual but relevant cases such as multi-page continuations, unreadable regions, absent fields, and conflicting values, with clear rules for representing uncertainty.
Connect labels to evidence
Provide an output schema and examples with text spans, coordinates, table relationships, or normalized values as needed. Keep source strings alongside interpreted outputs. A pilot should test the annotation rules and whether the documents actually support the requested fields before the project expands.
Review a scoped source proposal
Fiund can discuss potential sources against your brief. Origin, access, permitted use, sensitive information, sample fit, and delivery expectations need review for the particular project. Start with representative documents and acceptance questions so the next conversation can focus on evidence and specific gaps.
Include in your inquiry
- Document and example units
- Target fields and evidence format
- Layout, language, and source coverage
- Pilot acceptance and handling requirements
