Implementation effort: The technical piece is only part of the work; the harder question is whether Browser-based drag & drop interface, OCR for text extraction, local processing with zero upload can be owned, monitored, and reconciled in production.
Practical read: Best read as a low effort operational change with ROI upside when the pain is already measurable.
