if reducto leans in fully as the layer that remembers every correction, every edge case, every shift in layout or wording across document versions it starts becoming more than a pipeline. it becomes institutional memory for unstructured data. none of the other players really do that. they extract, maybe evaluate once, then forget.

but the real pain is always in the second and third batch. when formats change subtly. if reducto becomes the system that adapts without you babysitting it, that's where it may win. continuity's the moat imo among the competitors
