A question that can be settled
Write a concrete question, for example: can the 6 required fields be extracted from this document at a reliability level that fits human review?
The NeoTech lab settles one question inside a real workflow. We write down what needs to be learned, run a defined experiment, and decide on the result rather than on a promise.
Does the model understand this kind of document? Can the right source be reached? Is the interface clear to the user? Does the API provide the data in time?
A focused experiment isolates the question and defines in advance how the result will be judged. The findings support a decision to continue, change approach or reduce the scope.

Build the part that can refute or strengthen the assumption, and add the surrounding pieces after the core has been tested.
Continue, change direction or stop, and record the findings the decision rests on.
A prototype is not a production system. A result on a sample is not proof that the whole process will work.
The first conversation describes the process, where the information lives and what needs to change. From there it is clear whether to start with training, automation or a system.
