Private AI for Business

Document workflow / scans, OCR, and search

The scan becomes searchable, and the archive stops hiding.

We build private workflows that ingest approved scans, images, and archives, run OCR, index the text, and return search results with source links and quality flags. The workflow finds the material; the team owns the interpretation.

Where archive work loses time

The paper exists. The search does not.

Teams often know the document is in the archive but cannot find it without opening file after file.

01 / INGEST

Bring in the archive

Load approved scans, images, PDFs, and folders into a scoped private document set.

02 / OCR

Make the text readable

Run the OCR pass, preserve source links, and flag pages that are blurry or low confidence.

03 / SEARCH

Return the useful passage

Search the index with citations and a clear not-found answer when the material is absent.

The archive boundary

The system reads the paper. It does not decide what it means.

SOURCE

Keep the original attached

Every OCR result remains linked to the original file, page, and version.

QUALITY

Flag the uncertain read

Low-quality scans and uncertain text are visible to the user rather than silently assumed.

INTERPRETATION

Professional review stays

Legal, financial, clinical, or operational meaning remains with the responsible professional.

A first OCR workflow

Start with one archive and one recurring question.

Choose the archive

Pick the folder, filing cabinet, or document family the team needs to search.

Set the search questions

List the real questions and the passage or field a reviewer expects to find.

Test the OCR quality

Run scans, handwritten notes, tables, and low-quality files and review accuracy flags.

Hand over the search

Deliver the index, source links, quality flags, and limitations to the responsible team.

OCR is useful when the search result still points back to the page that matters.

Why trust Pristine3D?

We build and operate production software.

Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.

METHOD

We start with the actual workflow

One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.

OWNERSHIP

The boundary stays visible

Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Pricing / fixed scope

Know the starting numbers before you ask.

The final quote follows the workflow. Infrastructure and model bills stay on your accounts.

Annual support

Starting from
$3,000 / ₦1.5m
per year

Standard care for one delivered workflow. Optional. Larger deployments and active monitoring are separately scoped.

See support

Architecture review from $500. Standard annual support is $3,000 / ₦1.5m per year for one delivered workflow. New workflows, integrations, active monitoring, and infrastructure are separately scoped; infrastructure, model, storage, and messaging bills stay on client accounts. Full pricing and what changes the quote

Straight answers

Common questions.

Does OCR understand the document?

It makes the text searchable. Meaning, interpretation, and decisions stay with the responsible professional.

Can it read handwriting?

Handwriting can be included in scope, but accuracy depends on the quality and format. The team reviews low-confidence results.

How is this different from invoice extraction?

That page extracts fixed fields from one document family. This page is the broader search layer: making scans and archives searchable with citations.

Own your knowledge base

The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.

Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.

THE ASSET

Your corpus, your index

The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.

THE LOCK-IN

Models are swappable parts

Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.

THE ALPHA

The knowledge base is the alpha

Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.
