Recensa vs Claude alone
Using Claude in a chat window gives you an answer. Recensa runs a check on the finished file outside the tool that drafted it, recomputes the figures it states, and hands you a shareable Proof Report—a verification layer, not a single answer.

Decision at a glance
Claude alone
Individual experts on small docs who own merge and export manually.Recensa + Claude
A check run outside the drafting tool, with recomputed figures, an issue ledger and repeatable exports.
Who each fits
When Claude alone is enough
- You are an individual expert comfortable owning merge, severity, and export formatting manually.
- Your document is small enough to keep full context in one working session without operational drift.
When Recensa adds value
Where orchestration shows up
- Numbers that have to add up: stated figures are recomputed against the document's own arithmetic rather than judged by eye.
- Traceability: teams need repeatable downloads and ledgers, not screenshots of a good answer.
- Operational reality: rate limits and partial results should surface as status—not silent retries that pretend nothing happened.
Workflow
Document handoff (DOCX & PDF)
Recensa is built for finished DOCX and PDF files and exports your team can route into Word or PDF workflows. If you already trust Claude’s judgment, Recensa makes that judgment repeatable across runs—without replacing your final read.
