Review Extraction Results

After extraction completes, review results to verify accuracy and identify any issues.

Viewing results

1. Navigate to Extract in the sidebar
2. Click a run in the Runs tab, or
3. Select View Results from the actions menu (⋮)

Checking provenance

Every extracted value includes a Source Quote — the exact text the extraction was based on.

Use provenance to:

• Verify accuracy — Does the quote support the extracted value?
• Check context — Is the quote from the right section?
• Trace sources — Know exactly where data came from

If provenance looks wrong, refine your schema or add extraction instructions.

Common issues

Missing or empty fields

Unexpected values

Wrong row granularity

If you're getting one row per character when you want one row per book:

1. Edit the schema
2. Add extraction instructions: "Extract one row for each book. List all characters in the Characters field."
3. Run a new extraction

Iterating on schemas

It's normal to refine a schema 2-3 times:

1. Run extraction on 2-3 test documents
2. Review results and provenance
3. Adjust field names, types, or instructions
4. Clone your schema and try again

Don't run large extractions until your schema works well on test documents.

Combining results

For collections larger than 50 documents:

1. Run multiple extractions (up to 50 docs each)
2. Export each as CSV
3. Combine in Excel or Google Sheets

Deleting a run

1. Click the actions menu (⋮) on the run
2. Select Delete
3. Confirm

This permanently deletes the run and all results. Cannot be undone.

Note: Cancel running jobs before deleting.
