What had to change
Tens of thousands of vendor PDFs in inconsistent formats made the client’s most valuable data effectively unsearchable — and answers without source citations could not be trusted
Architecture and delivery
A normalization and validation pipeline feeding a search platform where every result carries citations back to the exact source pages
The client’s core asset was a large corpus of vendor PDFs — around 50,000 documents in inconsistent formats that were effectively unsearchable. We built the ingestion pipeline (multi-vendor normalization, validation, and a quarantine path for malformed documents, with a pytest-backed test suite), and a search experience where results cite the exact source pages they came from. Traceability was a design requirement, not an afterthought.
