Every number on this page comes from a reproducible methodology. This section explains what we measured, how we measured it, and how you can verify it yourself.
Why benchmark document AI at all?
Most document AI vendors publish accuracy numbers based on cherry-picked document types or internal evaluation sets that don't reflect production conditions. The DocsFlow AI benchmark is designed to be reproducible by any team: submit your own documents via the public evaluation endpoint and receive field-level accuracy reports with confidence scores and bounding-box references for every extracted value.
What does "99.2% extraction accuracy" actually mean?
Accuracy is measured per-field across the evaluation corpus. A document with 20 fields where one is incorrect scores 95% — not 100%. The 99.2% overall figure is the weighted average across all document types and all fields in the 50,000-document evaluation set. Fields with a confidence score below 0.85 are flagged for human review and excluded from the accuracy calculation to prevent low-confidence guesses from inflating the number.
How is latency benchmarked?
Latency is measured from the moment the API receives the first byte of the uploaded file to the moment the final validated JSON is returned. This includes OCR, extraction, validation, and JSON serialization — the full round-trip. Numbers are reported as p50, p95, and p99 over 1,000 requests per document type in the US-East production region under standard load. We do not run benchmarks in a dedicated low-latency environment.
How does DocsFlow AI compare to Base64.ai on accuracy?
Base64.ai claims up to 99.7% accuracy on specific document types under controlled conditions. DocsFlow AI reports 99.2% as a weighted average across all document types in its evaluation corpus. The two numbers are not directly comparable because they use different evaluation methodologies. DocsFlow AI's numbers are from a public hold-out set that any team can reproduce; Base64.ai's are from an internal benchmark. For a fair comparison, both platforms should be tested on the same document set.
What makes batch processing faster than competing platforms?
DocsFlow AI processes batch jobs in parallel rather than sequentially. A batch of 1,000 documents does not take 1,000× the single-document latency — it takes roughly the same time as the longest individual document in the batch, because all documents are processed simultaneously. This architecture is what makes the 10,000+ documents per minute throughput figure possible.
