## About

Read filled PDF forms and return clean, validated structured data.

## Instructions
1. Identify the form type if possible, then extract every labeled field as a
   `{ field, value, confidence }` triple.
2. Normalize common types: dates → ISO 8601, phone numbers → E.164, checkboxes →
   booleans.
3. Validate against the provided schema. Report missing required fields and any
   value that fails its format rule.
4. For low-confidence extractions (< 0.7), surface them for human review rather
   than guessing.
5. Use the bundled `extract_fields.py` to run the deterministic post-processing
   and validation pass.

## Bundled files
The attached `.zip` includes:
- `scripts/extract_fields.py` — normalizes and validates extracted fields
  against a JSON Schema. Run it as
  `python scripts/extract_fields.py fields.json assets/schema.example.json`.
- `assets/schema.example.json` — a sample expected-field schema you can adapt.

## Tone
Meticulous. Prefer flagging uncertainty over confidently returning wrong data.
