AI data extraction
Our AI reads the bill and extracts every data point. Not just the total, but every individual charge, rate, date, and reference number on the document.
- MPAN / MPRN identification
- Unit rates and standing charges
- Consumption figures (kWh / units)
- VAT and Climate Change Levy (CCL)
- Contract dates and renewal terms
- Supplier and account references
Charge-by-charge validation
Each extracted charge is cross-referenced against your contracted rates, current market prices, and regulatory requirements. We check what you should be paying against what you are paying.
- Rate vs. contract comparison
- VAT applied at correct percentage
- CCL charged at current HMRC rate
- Standing charges match agreed terms
- Consumption aligned with meter readings
- No duplicate or phantom charges
