+ For the advanced reader: field-level accuracy
Structured outputs and schema validation are useful when turning text into fields. But
semantic accuracy at the field level must be tested, not only the correctness of the
structure. A system filling the “amount” field with a readable value does not mean it
extracted the right amount. Build a representative test set, record accuracy for each field,
and set a threshold for human escalation.

What to notice: Each stage has a gate. Skipping a gate does not save time; it moves the
correction to the point where it costs most.
