Compare a sample’s row count and balances

Use both detail and totals to inspect a statement extraction example.

Updated 2026-11-11

The basic sample check expects 18 rows, an opening balance of USD 10,000.00 and a closing balance of USD 5,851.00. Use the detail rows and the balance check together when inspecting the example.

  1. Confirm that the sample result reports all expected rows matched.
  2. Review dates, descriptions, amounts and direction in the row table, using pagination to inspect the full set.
  3. Compare debit and credit totals with the PDF’s opening and closing balances.

Matching totals alone can hide offsetting row errors. Checking the row details helps reveal a wrong date, omitted description or duplicate-looking movement that the net balance would not explain.

Keep repeated purchases visible

The example includes two separate coffee charges with matching-looking details. Preserve both source rows and let a person resolve any possible duplicate question using the evidence.

These values belong to a fictional sample. For a real statement, use its actual row count and balances rather than expecting the same numbers. A sample check creates no financial records; uploading a source for extraction is a separate workflow that still requires review before posting.
