Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on?

At the moment many corporates are just automating the incoming invoice process. However, many processes are document (any kind of digital file) based to share information between departments, vendors or customers. Many processes could be automated. To identify a business case for automation worth coding such an application or offer an API we use three main KPI to identify processe worth automating it:

- more than 10 documents per day on year average, e.g a bank will receive new annual reports only in some calendar months but in massive scale

- average number of pages or lines of text per document, the longer the document the more mistakes will be made by humans, as they don't have the time to read everything in detail

- average pay of the FTE who is able to understand and process the document manually should be higher than the average pay of all employees in the company, to make sure the documents encapsulate business value

It's not a fixed set of KPI but helps us to sort out too narrow use cases.

By we I refer to the team behind my startup Konfuzio:

Thanks a lot for sharing such valuable insights!

Small payback : on your English home page under "Operation of the software" > "Information security", there's one too many sentences:

> We set the highest standards both when creating the software and when processing your data. Both when creating the software and when processing your data we set the highest standards.

(First one is better imho).
