From study PDFs to a review-ready table

A focused extraction path—not another chat-with-PDF toy. Define what you need once, then reuse it across your corpus.

  1. 01

    Upload studies

    Drop one PDF or a full batch. Keep moving while files process.

  2. 02

    Define questions

    Set the fields your evidence table needs—population, outcomes, follow-up, and more.

  3. 03

    Export with proof

    Receive structured Excel plus an Audit Trail sheet: quotes, locations, confidence, flags.

Batch intake

Keep the corpus moving

Upload multiple papers and extract against the same question set—ideal for screening follow-ups and living reviews.

Extraction without a paper trail is just a guess

Every cell can point back to the source language, the page it came from, and a status flag when the paper is silent or ambiguous.

  • Verbatim quotes keep the exact wording behind each answer.
  • Locations cite section, table, and page for rapid verification.
  • Status flags surface not found, ambiguous, and needs-review answers before you publish.
