Coming soon · For existing NOTICENINJA® clients

The OCR review step is going away.

Kata™ — our agentic data ingestion engine — is being built into your platform and replacing OCR. It reads, validates, and structures every notice the moment it arrives, so the few minutes your team spends checking OCR output on each notice all but disappear. This isn't a trial. It's your platform getting smarter.

Nothing to migrate · No new logins · A person stays in the loop

This isn't a trial. It's an upgrade — switched on inside the workspace you already use.

For well over a decade, NOTICENINJA® has ingested notices across thousands of jurisdictions — first with OCR. Kata is the next step: the same job, done with understanding instead of character matching. You don't change anything. The engine underneath simply gets dramatically better.

What's changing

A new engine, switched on in your workspace.

Three things to know — and most of your day doesn't change at all.

01

A new engine, built in

Kata replaces OCR as your ingestion engine. It reads, understands, validates, and structures every notice — surfacing only the exceptions your team needs to touch.

02

Nothing to migrate

It runs on the same notice intake you use today. No new logins, no workflow changes, no data migration — we turn it on inside your existing workspace.

03

A platform-fee change is coming

A materially more capable engine means your annual platform fee is increasing to reflect it. The specifics arrive in your Order Form Amendment, reviewed with your account team.

KATA
kah·tah · “the form”
Kata Reads. Your Team Leads.
Meet Kata

Why we named it Kata.

In the martial arts, a kata (型) is a form — a precise sequence of movements practiced until it is flawless and repeats perfectly every time, under any conditions. That discipline is exactly what we built.

Kata runs one disciplined sequence on every notice — Capture, Understand, Extract, Validate, Create, Elevate — at any volume, with the same precision your team can count on. It doesn't get tired, distracted, or sloppy on the thousandth notice of the day. It performs the form, every time.

And like any good practice, it has a clear purpose: free your specialists from rote review so their judgment goes where it matters most.

How Kata works

One sequence, run on every notice.

Where OCR stops at turning pixels into characters, Kata understands the document — what it is, what it means, and what to do with it. Here's the full sequence, end to end.

1
Capture

It arrives the way it always has

Mailroom scan, upload, or email forward — Kata takes the notice from your existing intake. There's no new step for your team and nothing to learn.

2
Understand

It reads for meaning, not characters

Kata recognizes what kind of notice it is, which agency or jurisdiction issued it, and what it concerns — interpreting the document the way an experienced specialist would.

3
Extract

It pulls the details that matter

Notice type, tax period, amounts, due dates, account and case numbers, jurisdiction — captured as structured, usable data, consistently, on every notice.

4
Validate

It checks its own work

Per-field confidence scoring, duplicate and sequential detection, and consistency checks mean uncertainty is caught and flagged before it ever reaches your team.

5
Create

A clean record lands in your platform

A correctly classified, structured notice record is created and routed inside NOTICENINJA® — no file renaming, no spreadsheet keying, no manual assignment.

6
Elevate

Your team moves up the value chain

Instead of reviewing every result, specialists handle only the flagged exceptions and the judgment calls that genuinely need a human — where their expertise actually pays off.

Kata is the ingestion engine — not the resolution layer. Once a notice is read, validated, and structured, NOTICENINJA®'s workflows take over to drive it through to resolution, exactly as they do today. Kata makes the front door faster and more accurate; everything downstream keeps working the way you know it.

OCR → Kata

The same notices, read a smarter way.

OCR served you well for years — it's how NOTICENINJA® started. Kata is built on that experience and goes further: from reading characters to understanding documents.

 
With OCR
With Kata
How it reads
Converts the page into characters and text.
Understands the document's type, source, and meaning — not just its text.
Classification & routing
Reviewed and keyed by your team after the fact.
Classified and routed automatically at ingestion.
Duplicates & sequentials
Caught by hand — and occasionally missed.
Detected automatically before they cause downstream cleanup.
Confidence
No signal — every result looks equally certain.
Per-field confidence scoring flags exactly what to double-check.
Your team's time
3–5 minutes reviewing the output on every notice.
Exceptions only — the routine review step all but disappears.

A heritage, not a replacement of your workflow. NOTICENINJA® has ingested notices across thousands of jurisdictions for well over a decade. Kata is the distillation of that expertise into an engine that reads the way your best specialists do — only faster, and at any scale.

What's arriving

Two short documents, no surprises.

When Kata switches on, two documents come your way for review. Your account team walks you through both, in plain language.

1 · The AI Addendum

How the AI works

A short addition to your Master Subscription Agreement covering the new capability in plain language. In short:

  • Your data is never used to train outside AI models without your consent.
  • A person stays in the loop — AI output supports your team's professional judgment.
  • AI assists; it never replaces a final human decision on a notice.
  • It names the providers that process data on your behalf, under strict data-protection terms.
2 · Order Form Amendment

Your updated platform fee

Updates your order form to reflect the new annual platform fee now that Agentic Data Ingestion is built into your platform as the ingestion engine.

  • One clear, updated annual platform fee — no hidden line items.
  • No setup fees and nothing to migrate.
  • Reviewed line by line with your account team.
  • For monthly-billing clients, applied on your July 2026 invoice — prorated, then added to your annual contract.
The platform-fee change, plainly

Why it's changing — and what protects you.

Agentic ingestion is a step-change in capability over OCR: it reads with understanding, validates its own work, and removes hours of routine review. Your annual platform fee increases to reflect that more powerful engine. Here's how we keep it transparent.

Effective July 2026 — for monthly-billing clients, the new platform fee is prorated on your July 2026 invoice, then added to your annual contract.

  • No surprise billing

    The new fee is spelled out in your Order Form Amendment, in writing, before anything changes.

  • You review it with your team

    Your CSM walks through the amendment with you and answers every question first.

  • When it takes effect

    For monthly-billing clients, the new fee appears on your July 2026 invoice — prorated for the month — and is then added to your annual contract.

  • The value is in the time back

    For most teams the eliminated review hours more than offset the change. See your own numbers above.

Data & AI governance

Powerful AI, handled responsibly.

The intelligence is new; the discipline around your data is not. Here's how Kata is governed.

Your data stays yours

Your documents are never used to train outside AI models without your consent. Processing happens to serve you — not to improve someone else's model.

A person stays in the loop

Kata reads and structures; your team decides. AI output supports professional judgment and never makes the final call on a notice alone.

Governed in writing

The AI Addendum and your Data Processing terms set out exactly how data is handled and which trusted providers process it, under strict data-protection obligations.

What to expect

How the switch happens.

A simple, low-effort sequence — most of it on our side.

1

We turn it on

Kata activates inside your existing workspace. No new logins, no downtime, nothing for your team to install.

2

Kata begins ingesting

Every incoming notice is read, validated, and structured automatically. The routine OCR-review step starts to disappear from your team's day.

3

Two documents arrive

The AI Addendum and your Order Form Amendment come over for review. Your account team walks through both with you.

4

You continue, smarter

Kata is now your ingestion engine. Your specialists focus on exceptions and resolution — the work that needs them.

Questions, answered

The details, in plain terms.

No. Kata is becoming your platform's ingestion engine, replacing OCR. It's a permanent upgrade, switched on inside your existing workspace.

No. We turn Kata on for you. There's nothing to install, migrate, or configure on your side.

No. Kata runs on the same notice intake you already use, and the rest of NOTICENINJA®'s workflows are unchanged. Your team keeps working exactly as they do today — with far less manual review.

It all but goes away. Kata reads, validates, and structures every notice and surfaces only the exceptions — so your team reviews what genuinely needs a human, not every result.

Yes. The new engine is materially more capable, so your annual platform fee is increasing to reflect it. The specifics arrive in your Order Form Amendment, and your account team reviews it with you before anything is finalized.

For monthly-billing clients, the updated platform fee takes effect on your July 2026 bill — prorated for the month — and is then incorporated into your annual contract. Your Order Form Amendment documents the change, and your account team reviews it with you first.

Kata applies per-field confidence scoring and flags anything uncertain for review, rather than presenting every result as equally certain. It also detects duplicates and sequentials that are easy to miss by hand.

Tax notices and compliance correspondence across thousands of jurisdictions — the documents NOTICENINJA® has ingested for well over a decade. Kata understands their structure and meaning, not just their text.

No — your data is never used to train outside AI models without your consent. How data is handled, and which trusted providers process it, is governed in writing by the AI Addendum and your Data Processing terms.

No. A person stays in the loop. Kata is the ingestion engine — it reads and structures notices — while your team and NOTICENINJA®'s workflows drive each notice through to resolution.
