Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) is the discipline of extracting structured, decision-ready data from unstructured documents — invoices, lab reports, contracts, purchase orders — automatically and reliably.
This cluster covers production IDP engineering: understanding what IDP actually is, choosing between platforms and custom pipelines, handling the edge cases that break every generic solution, and building systems that stay reliable as document volume and layout variation grow.
Everything here comes from two years running a live IDP pipeline in daily operations — not from vendor documentation or toy examples.
