Scoreboard

Parse flows: how a page is read, step by step

The steps of each parse flow, by OCR and from a PDF's own text, and each flow's speed.

Its key points, its tables, how it was scored and its log load from /api/public/scoreboards/parse-flows.

Test documents

No test set: a speed needs no ground truth. Each flow is timed on the public filings of the sample cases on sheaf.us: court filings and SEC filings.
