Document migration
You Do Not Have to Start Over
Adopt UD incrementally: create new UDs now and convert high-value legacy families when the benefit justifies it.
The safe operating rule
Preserve the source. Label extraction and inference. Keep unknowns unknown. Record warnings and failures. Reconcile every batch.
What UD does not claim
No perfect conversion, 100% OCR accuracy, compliance preservation, legal equivalence, accepted archival-standard status or freedom from manual review is promised.
