Honest comparisons
Document Analysis vs reading every PDF yourself
Reading an NDIS plan, an FCA, a discharge summary, a psychology report - properly, with comprehension - is 15-25 minutes. Across a caseload, that's an entire workday a month spent reading documents. Document Analysis does the structural extraction in 15-60 seconds so you spend your reading time on the parts that actually need clinical judgement.
The headline
10 hours of unbillable reading per month back. $20 for the tool.

| Reusable - re-open the extraction any time | Yes | Re-read or rely on your notes |
| Monthly cost (30 documents) | $20/mo | ~10 hrs unbillable = $1,000+ in lost capacity |

The honest verdict
This isn't a competitor comparison - it's a direct ROI argument. If you read 30 documents a month at 20 minutes each, that's 10 hours of unbillable work. At $100.14/hr Support Coordinator rate, that's $1,001/month of recovered capacity if you fill that time with billable work. Document Analysis costs $20/mo. The ratio is enormous and isn't sensitive to the inputs: even at 15 documents a month and 15 minutes each (3.75 hrs), the recovered capacity is $376 vs the $20 tool cost. Most SCs run the maths once and stop reading PDFs end-to-end the next day.
