Accuracy SLA Definition
For certain use cases and applications, Staple may offer customers a guarantee on accuracy levels as part of an Accuracy SLA. This section defines how accuracy is calculated for purposes of the Accuracy SLA, and only applies to customers who have purchased the Accuracy SLA."Accuracy Rate" means the average level of precision and completeness achieved in extracting data points from documents.
Accuracy computed as:
= 1 - (# of fields manually edited by Customer / total # of fields processed)
All accuracy metrics should be measured over at least 1,000 documents.
For example: 100,000 documents are processed through Staple, with 5 fields per document, giving 500,000 fields in total.
Customer has to manually correct 10,000 fields out of 500,000. Accuracy is calculated as:
= 1 - (# of fields manually edited by customer / total # of fields processed)
= 1 - (10,000 / 500,000)
= 1 - 0.02
= 98%
Monthly accuracy reporting can be available from implementation.
