Synthetic data, not a live extraction. Real responses also include confidence, validation, and result status.

When this work lands on your desk

A vendor submits a replacement certificate before an existing coverage period expires, and operations needs to determine which record to review next.

Certificates can list several policies with different dates, insurers and limits. A single expiration field loses that distinction, and a familiar vendor name does not establish that the requested holder or supporting endorsements are correct. Extract each coverage row without treating the certificate as proof that every contractual requirement is satisfied.

Start with the documents you already collect

  • Certificate of insurance PDFs
  • Scanned renewal certificates
  • Supporting endorsements using separately evaluated schemas

PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or WEBP. Send one file per extraction call; create separate schemas when the document types need different fields.

  1. Define the fields

    Open the starter schema. Edit field descriptions, mark the values your process requires, and save it in your account.

  2. Extract at intake

    Send the document and saved schema slug to POST /api/v1/extract, or collect the file through a branded upload site.

  3. Hand off reviewed data

    Your tracking system associates the vendor and creates any renewal reminders. Your reviewer compares each coverage row with your requirements and checks the underlying policy or endorsements where needed.

A schema shaped around the next step.

Start with these fields, then adjust them to match your documents and destination system. The example above shows the data object you are asking Dokyumi to extract.

Starter fields are optional until you choose which are required. Nested line items need a defined structure if you want validation of their individual values.

FieldTypeWhat to capture
insured_namestringNamed insured shown on the certificate.
producer_namestringAgency or producer as printed.
certificate_holderstringHolder name and address exactly as shown.
certificate_datedateCertificate issue date when printed.
coveragesarrayCoverage type, insurer, policy number, effective date, expiration date and printed limits.
description_of_operationsstringRelevant description text without interpreting its legal effect.

Give exceptions a clear path to review.

Dokyumi returns a model-reported confidence map, validation details, and a completed or review status for produced results. Check required fields and your business rules before passing data onward.

A completed extraction describes the extraction result. Your application and reviewers own matching, approvals, routing, and updates to other systems.

Checks for this process

  • Different expiration dates across coverage rows
  • Named insured does not match the contracted entity
  • Holder wording or location differs from the request
  • Required endorsement evidence is absent from the submission

Prove the fit on a representative batch.

Evaluate certificates with several coverage rows, a replacement policy and a mismatched holder. Compare extracted dates and limits with a reviewer’s checked record.

Compare extracted values with a reviewer’s reference set. Record corrections, unresolved fields, review time, and credits used before connecting downstream actions.

The free plan’s credit limits apply. Assisted pilots are scoped with Dokyumi before work begins.

Expand when the next process is ready

Use paid capacity for ongoing vendor renewals. Add schemas or upload portals as different vendor programs need distinct intake fields and supporting documents.

For a tailored implementation

Discuss custom volume and schema setup for large vendor networks or many separately managed properties.

Talk through document mix and volume

Start small. Add capacity as intake grows.

All self-service plans include the REST API, upload-site webhooks, custom confidence thresholds, and schema inference. Choose by volume, schema count, and upload sites.

Questions about coi renewal intake

Does this determine insurance compliance?

No. It prepares certificate facts. Your qualified reviewer determines whether the actual coverage and supporting evidence satisfy your requirements.

Are expiry reminders included in extraction?

The extraction returns printed dates. Your application or tracking system schedules reminders and decides which date governs each renewal task.

Can a certificate establish additional insured coverage?

Do not infer coverage from extraction alone. Have the appropriate reviewer examine the policy and any required endorsements.

How do I test this workflow on my own documents?

Start free with 25 credits per month, 2 schemas, and 1 branded upload site. The starter schema opens in the schema builder after sign-up. Edit the fields, save it, and upload a representative file through your account or the extraction API.
