I want to prevent type-specific steps from being applied to documents that do not actually match that type.

This feature ensures that type-specific processing steps only run on documents that truly match the intended document type. It reduces incorrect outputs and prevents wasted processing by blocking or skipping mismatched steps.

This feature prevents type-specific steps from being applied to documents that do not actually match the expected type. It is designed to avoid situations where a document is routed through a type-specific workflow solely because it was labeled or selected incorrectly. When a type-specific step is about to run, the system verifies that the document meets the criteria for that type before continuing. If the document does not match, the step is not applied, which helps protect downstream results from being contaminated by incorrect assumptions. This improves reliability for extraction, transformation, and validation steps that depend on the document’s structure or content. It also reduces rework by catching mismatches earlier in the process rather than after incorrect data has been produced. Teams can use this capability to make pipelines safer when handling mixed document batches or uncertain classifications. It is especially useful in environments where document type is inferred, user-provided, or comes from upstream systems that may be wrong. Overall, it helps ensure that each document receives only the processing intended for its true type.
