Sheaf
Sheaf vs V7 Go
V7 Go checks your documents against a checklist you build and maintain. Sheaf works out the requirements itself — and validates across documents without being told to.
The short answer
Both products go at completeness. The difference is who does the work. V7 Go needs a Knowledge Hub checklist you author and keep current. Sheaf derives the requirement set for each application, matches arriving documents to it as they land, and checks them against each other automatically.
Sheaf vs V7 Go at a glance
| Requirement | Sheaf | V7 Go |
|---|---|---|
| Where requirements come from | Derived per application, no curation step | Authored by you in a Knowledge Hub |
| Setup before first result | None — upload and go | Knowledge Hub authored first |
| Unanticipated documents | Matched on what the document says about itself | Checked against the checklist you authored |
| Split a mixed bundle | Determined boundaries that tile the file end to end | Per-document agents |
| Completeness | Recomputed live from what is filed right now | Missing Document Detection per import |
| Portfolio completeness | One dashboard across every open application | Per import |
| Cross-document consistency | Names, dates and amounts checked automatically | Validation agent |
| Grounding | File, page and span, supplied by the reader | Cited sources in reports |
| Straight-through processing | Per-requirement thresholds you control | Human-in-the-loop review |
| Audit trail | Every outcome walks back to a page and a person | Agent platform |
Where Sheaf wins
- No checklist to curate A Knowledge Hub is an asset someone owns, populates and keeps current, and it decays the moment nobody does. Sheaf derives the requirement set for an application directly, so completeness works on day one and stays correct without maintenance.
- The document nobody anticipated Sheaf matches an arriving document on what it says about itself, so an unfamiliar instrument can still satisfy a requirement. A curated checklist can only recognise what has already been curated into it — which means the surprise document, the one that actually costs you time, is exactly the one it misses.
- Coverage is live, not per import Sheaf recomputes coverage from everything filed at this moment across the whole application, and rolls it up across every open application into one dashboard. Documents arriving over six weeks still produce one honest number.
- Consistency without configuration Sheaf checks that names, dates and amounts agree across every filed document as a matter of course, rather than as an agent someone sets up and points at a field list.
- Automation, not human-in-the-loop by default Sheaf clears the routine file automatically under thresholds a reviewer sets per requirement, and escalates only the exceptions. A review step on every document is a staffing model, not an automation strategy.
Where V7 Go is strong
- It takes completeness seriously Missing Document Detection is a real answer to the real question, and most of the category does not attempt it.
- Explicit, centrally owned requirements If your requirements genuinely never change, a curated hub gives you one deliberate place to state them.
- A general agent platform Broader than document intake, so it can be pointed at adjacent work.
Choose Sheaf if
- Documents arrive from people who have never seen your checklist.
- Requirements vary by application rather than sitting still across every file.
- You want completeness and cross-document validation working immediately, with no curation project.
- You want the routine file cleared automatically rather than reviewed by hand.
Choose V7 Go if
- Your requirements are fixed, centrally owned, and someone is funded to maintain them.
- You want one agent platform spanning document work and unrelated tasks.
The bottom line
This is the closest comparison on the site, and it comes down to who maintains the checklist. Theirs needs one. Sheaf does not — and still answers the same questions, across the whole portfolio, on the first upload.
