• establish, by use of a data processor and a data network, a data connection with at least one applicant platform;
• receive an upload of documents from the applicant platform via the data network;
• classify each document as being of a particular document type;
• determine an information extraction strategy based on a document type classification of a particular document, the information extraction strategy including performing extractions from the document based on the document type classification and a document context, the document context including an inference of document content drawn from document content extracted from a plurality of related documents, the document context further including applying domain-specific rules of a domain-aware business layer to bias document content extraction toward compliance with the domain-specific rules;
