Document Classification Agent

H1ST-AI-DOC-006 · Task 6.2

Filing a document shouldn't be a judgment call

You shouldn't need to remember the whole Reference Model to file one document correctly. The agent inspects each document's content and layout to predict its TMF zone, section, and artifact under Reference Model v3.3.1, extracts key metadata such as site, country, dates, and version, and flags likely duplicates before they pollute the TMF, returning a confidence score for your review. Filing that once took minutes of manual judgment resolves in seconds against a consistent taxonomy.

The grind you know

Filing a document shouldn't be a judgment call

Classifying TMF documents by hand is slow, and worse, it depends on which coordinator is doing it, so artifacts end up mis-filed and records orphaned. The metadata you key by hand carries the typos and gaps that later break your search and your completeness reporting. And the duplicates pile up quietly, inflating the inspection risk you can't yet see.

How it works

  1. 1

    Read

    The agent parses text and layout from PDFs, scans, and Office files to build a content representation.

  2. 2

    Classify

    A model maps the content to the Reference Model taxonomy and extracts metadata, scoring each prediction.

  3. 3

    Verify

    High-confidence results file automatically; uncertain or duplicate items are surfaced for reviewer confirmation.

Capabilities

What it takes off your plate

AI Zone & Artifact Prediction

Content and layout analysis assigns each document to the correct TMF zone, section, and artifact with a confidence score.

Metadata Extraction

The agent pulls site, country, investigator, version, and key dates directly from the document to auto-populate index fields.

Duplicate Detection

Fingerprinting and near-match comparison flag duplicate or superseded copies before they are filed.

Confidence-Based Review

Low-confidence predictions are routed to a human queue while high-confidence items proceed automatically.

What you get

  • Classified documents tagged to TMF zone/section/artifact
  • Structured metadata index per document
  • Duplicate and near-duplicate flag report
  • Classification confidence and accuracy log

In practice

What this looks like on a real study

Where the agent shows up in the day-to-day of a live trial — the moments the grind usually lives in.

A scanned site document arrives

A site returns a signed form as a scanned PDF. PaddleOCR converts it to text, and the agent predicts the correct TMF zone, section, and artifact under Reference Model v3.3.1, extracting site, country, and dates so it's indexed like a native file.

A low-confidence prediction

An ambiguous document scores below threshold. Rather than mis-file it, the agent routes it to a reviewer queue with its confidence score, while high-confidence items proceed automatically.

A duplicate before it pollutes the TMF

A coordinator uploads a copy of a document already on file. Fingerprinting and near-match comparison flag it as a duplicate or superseded copy before it inflates your completeness reporting.
