Having experience in this area, audit, legal, confidence intervals are essential. No, you don't end up "passing every single document" to human review. That's made up nonsense. But confidence intervals can pretty easily flag poorly OCR'd documents, and then yes they are done by human review.
If you try to pitch hallucinations to these fields, they'll just choose 100% manual instead. It's a non-starter.

I work in a health insurance adjacent field. I can see my work going the way of the dodo as soon as VLLs take off in interpreting historical health records with physicians’ handwriting.
