How independent AI auditors check every number.
Swick does not rely on a single reading of a figure. Follow one EBITDA figure through independent AI auditors, an arithmetic check and a human review.
By Swick ·
Reading a number off a page is the easy part. Knowing that you read the right number is harder, and it is the part most document tools leave to the reviewer. Swick is built around a review harness that treats every figure as something to be proved, not only extracted.
The review harness
Every document Swick receives goes through the same 4 steps:
- Independent AI auditors read every number. Each figure is read independently, more than once.
- Every total is checked against its line items. Figures that should agree with each other are tested against each other.
- Your team reviews only what the AI auditors disagree on. Readings that agree and pass the arithmetic go through. Disagreements go to a person.
- Each number is linked to its page, and each decision is logged. The trail is created as the work is done, not reconstructed later.
One figure, start to finish
Take a single EBITDA figure on page 14 of a quarterly report, Document 11 in this quarter's close. The page shows D&A of 10.4, EBIT of 31.3 and EBITDA of 41.7.
Three readings. Three independent AI auditors read EBITDA from the page. Auditors 1 and 2 read 41.7. Auditor 3 reads 51.7.
The arithmetic check. The figures on the page should satisfy a simple identity, EBITDA − D&A = EBIT. Each reading is checked against the line items on page 14:
| Reading | Check | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Auditor 1: 41.7 | 41.7 − 10.4 = 31.3 | Holds |
| Auditor 2: 41.7 | 41.7 − 10.4 = 31.3 | Holds |
| Auditor 3: 51.7 | 51.7 − 10.4 ≠ 31.3 | Fails |
A review item, not a silent guess. Because the auditors disagree, the figure is flagged to a human as a review item. The reviewer sees each auditor's value side by side, with the source, Doc 11, page 14. They can open the page, accept 41.7, and the decision is logged.
Into your workbook, with its source. EBITDA of 41.7 is written to your workbook next to its source, Doc 11 · p. 14. Revenue of 212.4 from page 12 and net debt of 96.0 from page 15 sit alongside it, each with its own page reference.
Why disagreement is the useful signal
A single reader that makes a mistake makes it with confidence. Independent readers that disagree show you exactly where to look. That is what allows your team to review only the items that need judgement instead of re-checking every figure, and it replaces the quick high-level review at the end of a manual process with a targeted one.
What the trail gives you
When someone asks where a number came from, the answer is already recorded: the document, the page and the decision that was made. At the fund of funds where Swick was proven, 100% of numbers were traced to their page, and accuracy reached 99.3% across thousands of data points.
A system that improves
Every logged decision is also feedback. Swick learns from every logged decision, so the system improves the more you use it, quarter after quarter.
