Why capturing everything is a bad idea

With documents like invoices where there isn’t much data, you may as well capture everything.

But even very simple contracts contain hundreds of potentially-useful atoms of information.

Most use cases only need instant visibility on a small subset of that. And which subset will vary between companies, or even between teams within the same company.

If we captured everything that could be important to you, you’d be utterly drowned in a sea of contract noise. You may as well just read the entire contract!

Instead, we capture a small set of universally useful information by default. We tailor the rest of what we capture to what specifically matters to you. This means you only pay for what you actually need, you don’t pollute your database with noise, and the quality of every data point is impeccable.

Some of our customers have 50+ custom data points, but the principle is the same: a few carefully chosen things, all of which you can trust is better than a sprawling buffet of things, none of which you can trust.
