document

A document in the transaction: its type, its contents once extracted, and what it evidences.

A document is a written or printed record that contains information, data, or instructions in a fixed form that can be stored, transmitted, or communicated.

Why it matters

The model covers the document types the industry produces rather than a generic file record — the loan application and its coborrower variant, tax returns and their schedules, wage statements, the loan estimate, closing data and the preapproval letter each have a recorded mapping into this model.

That is what makes an extracted document usable rather than merely stored: the fields land in the same classes a directly-supplied value would, so a downstream step cannot tell whether a figure was typed or read off a page — except by the source recorded against it.
