Batch extraction needs validation before aggregation

Document extraction becomes unreliable when hundreds of model outputs are merged before anyone checks their shape. Validate each record first: required fields, types, allowed values, source-page references, and confidence or evidence where available. Send invalid records to a repair queue instead of silently coercing them. After repair, revalidate from the beginning. Only validated records should enter the aggregate dataset. This pattern makes errors local and explainable. Without it, one malformed response can contaminate downstream calculations while still looking like a successful batch.

A repair queue is safer than coercion because it preserves the distinction between missing data and parser failure.

Schema validation cannot detect a plausible value copied from the wrong page, so evidence links still matter.
