AI for document review

Your team reads, checks and retypes documents all week. We build the AI that does that work.

Evata builds AI systems for companies of 50 to 500 people whose best people spend their days on paperwork: reviewing records, entering data from emails and forms, and drafting documents. The system does the reading and the first draft. Your people review it and make the decisions. Our systems are running in production at FDA-regulated manufacturers, where every record has to hold up in an audit.

The work we take off your team

If the alternative is hiring two to five more people to process paperwork, start here.

These are the jobs we automate first. Each one is reading, comparing or drafting, and each one ends with a person on your team approving the result.

Intake and data entry

Emails, purchase orders, forms and scanned files are read and turned into structured data, then written to the system you already use. Nobody retypes them.

Review against your criteria

Records, contracts and specifications are checked against the rules you set. The system flags what is missing or does not match, so your reviewers spend their time on exceptions.

First drafts

SOPs, records, replies and reports are drafted from your source documents and templates. A person edits and approves the draft before it is used.

Keeping the document set clean

Cross-references, citations and versions are checked across the whole set, so broken links between documents are found before an auditor finds them.

What we have built

Two systems in production at FDA-regulated manufacturers.

We describe them without naming the customers.

OTC drug and cosmetics manufacturer · about 50 people

Purchase orders, read and entered automatically

Customer purchase orders arrived by email and were retyped into an order tracker. Now each email is read by OCR, an OpenAI GPT-4o model turns it into a structured order, and the workflow writes it to the tracker. Other workflows send reminders and produce reports.

In production since early 2026. In the four weeks to August 10, 2026 the purchase-order workflow completed 250 runs. We have not measured hours saved, so we do not claim a figure.

Dietary supplement manufacturer · 21 CFR Part 111

A quality platform that drafts and checks the records

An on-premise system for document control with electronic signatures, inventory, training and batch records. AI adapts incoming documents, extracts specifications from source files, and drafts master manufacturing records for a person to review. Approvals, signatures and batch calculations are ordinary validated code, with no AI in them.

Work began in March 2026. Document control and inventory have been in daily use since July 2026, training since August, and AI drafting of batch records is now in use too. One check of the document set found 60 broken document references and 105 citations to documents that did not exist.

Built to hold up in an audit

The AI drafts and checks. A person decides.

Regulated manufacturers taught us these rules. They make any document system safer, regulated or not.

  • A person reviews AI output before it becomes a record, and your own approvers sign.
  • Exact work stays out of the model. Calculations, approvals and signatures run in validated, deterministic code.
  • Your data stays yours. Customer data is not used to train any model, and systems holding regulated records run in your own environment.
  • Least access. The AI can reach only what the job needs, and documents from outside your company are treated as untrusted input.

How an engagement runs

One process, one fixed fee, a working system at the end.

We start with the process that costs you the most hours. Builds are a fixed project fee, agreed before work begins.

Assess

We map the work as it is done today and agree how the result will be measured.

Build

We build in short cycles against your real documents and rules.

Deploy

We test it with your team, then put it into production.

Enable

We train the people who use it and stay on to maintain it.

Who builds it

A builder who comes from the audit room.

Evata is led by Jared Clark, JD, MBA. He has spent twelve years leading quality and FDA regulatory programs and, through Certify Consulting, has taken more than 200 companies through GMP and ISO certification. He holds computer system validation and computer software assurance credentials, which cover how software is tested and documented for FDA-regulated use.

We build on Claude and on OpenAI's models. Evata is an OpenAI Select Partner and is Registered in Anthropic's Claude Partner Network. We are based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Common questions

What buyers ask us about AI for document work.

Our team spends most of its week reviewing documents by hand. Can AI take that work off them?

Much of it, yes. AI is good at the reading, comparing and first-draft work: pulling the fields out of a document, checking it against your criteria, and flagging what does not match. Your people keep the decision. We build the system around your real documents and rules, and a person on your team reviews the output before it becomes a record.

We were about to hire more people just to process paperwork. Can AI do that work instead?

Often it can do the repetitive part: reading incoming documents, entering the data, and preparing drafts. That is the work we automate first. For one manufacturer we built a workflow that reads purchase-order emails and enters each order in their tracker, which removed the retyping between email, purchase orders and the order tracker. We will tell you in the assessment whether your volume and document types make this worth building.

Do you build custom AI systems, or only write strategy?

We build them. Both systems described on this page are running in production at the customer. Strategy work is available when you want it, but the engagement we are set up for is a working system in your environment. More on custom AI agents, rolling out Claude and working with Utah companies.

How much does it cost to have you build an AI system that reviews and drafts documents?

Builds are a fixed project fee, agreed before work starts. One workflow runs $5,000 to $150,000, depending on how many document types are involved, which systems it has to connect to, and whether it has to be validated for a regulator. The first step, a free assessment, ends with a scope you can price.

Our compliance team reviews contracts and records by hand. Will an AI tool hold up in an audit?

It can, if it is built for that from the start. We keep a person's review and approval on every record, leave an audit trail of who did what, and use ordinary validated code for anything that has to be exactly right every time, such as calculations, approvals and signatures. The model drafts and checks; it does not sign. Our founder has twelve years in FDA quality and regulatory work and holds computer system validation and computer software assurance credentials, so the audit is designed in, not added later. See how AI document review holds up in an audit.

Can you deploy AI for document control and batch record work at an FDA-regulated manufacturer?

Yes. We built an on-premise quality platform for a dietary supplement manufacturer that covers document control with electronic signatures, inventory, training and batch record drafting. AI extracts specifications from source files and drafts master manufacturing records for a person to review. Approvals, signatures and batch calculations are deterministic code, and the system runs on the customer's own server under their quality system.

We want to roll out Claude across our company but don't know where to start. Where do we begin?

Start with one process that costs you the most hours, not with a company-wide license. We build on Claude and on OpenAI's models. The free assessment ranks your processes by value, and we can pair the first build with training so your teams use the tools well.

Can you build an AI assistant for our quality team that drafts SOPs and keeps records audit-ready?

Yes. The quality platform we built drafts records for review, and it also checks the document set itself. On one pass it found 60 broken document references and 105 citations to documents that did not exist, which the quality team then corrected. Drafts go to a person for review and approval before they become controlled documents.

Our customer service and claims teams are buried in email and forms. Can you build AI that handles that work?

The pattern is the same one we have in production for purchase orders: read the incoming email or form, turn it into structured data, route it, and draft the reply or next step for a person to approve. Our shipped work so far is in manufacturing, so we will be plain in the assessment about what is new for your process.

Are you an AI implementation firm in Utah?

Yes. Evata Consulting Group is based in Salt Lake City, Utah. We work with mid-sized companies in Utah and elsewhere.
