Here's a lesson that took me years and multiple failed products to fully internalize: fast shipping beats perfect planning every single time. I've launched 8+ products at this point. Some I obsessed over for 6 months, perfecting every feature, tweaking every pixel, adding "just one more thing" before launch. Others I forced myself to ship in 2 weeks with barely functional MVPs. The results? The products I shipped in 2-4 weeks outperformed the ones I built for 6 months by 5X MRR. Let that sink in. The "ugly" fast launches generated 5X more recurring revenue than my "perfect" slow builds. Why does this happen? A few reasons: 1) Market feedback is everything. When you ship fast, you learn what customers actually want within days. When you build for 6 months, you're guessing for 6 months. Your guesses are usually wrong. 2) Momentum compounds. A live product attracts users, generates word of mouth, ranks in search, builds social proof. A product in development does none of that. Every day you're building instead of shipping is a day your competition is learning from real customers. 3) Motivation dies in long builds. I've watched my own excitement fade on projects that dragged on. By month 4, I was bored. By month 5, I was looking for reasons to pivot. The fast ships kept me energized because I was seeing real results. 4) Features you think matter usually don't. Half the features I spent months building? Users never touched them. The fast launches forced me to ship only the core value prop, and turns out that's all people needed anyway. The hard truth: your product sitting on your computer is worth exactly $0. The same product live, even if broken, is worth infinitely more because it's generating data, users, and revenue. Ship fast. Learn fast. Iterate fast. That's the game. What's something you've been building too long? Maybe it's time to just launch it.

Automated extraction is powerful. But wrong data in QuickBooks or CRM is worse. Needed confidence-based review queue catching low-quality extractions before problems. Built smart review system. Only reviews uncertain extractions. 100% accuracy maintained with minimal human time. THE APPROACH: Not all extracted data has equal certainty. Some 99% confident. Others 60% uncertain. Route based on confidence. High → auto-process. Low → human review. THE QUEUE WORKFLOW: Switch checks confidence per field (not just overall) Critical fields (amount, date, invoice number) need 95%+ Supporting fields (notes, descriptions) need 85%+ ANY critical field below threshold → Review queue Airtable record: document preview + extracted data side-by-side Slack notification when queue has items Reviewer corrects if needed, approves Webhook continues processing THE CRITICAL INSIGHT: Don't review entire documents. Review specific uncertain fields. Invoice with 99% confident amount but 60% confident date? Only review date. Accept amount. REAL EXAMPLE: 500 invoices monthly. 94% overall accuracy. But 30 invoices have errors. Without field-level routing: Review all 500 (forever) or auto-process all (30 errors reach system). With field-level routing: System flags 45 with uncertain fields. Review 45 takes 60 minutes monthly. Zero errors reach destination. THE REVIEW INTERFACE: Document preview embedded Extracted data in clean format Confidence scores highlighted (red <85%, yellow 85-95%, green >95%) Editable fields for corrections One-click approve Mobile friendly. Review from phone. THE METRICS: 500 invoices monthly 45 flagged (9%) 80 seconds average review 60 minutes total monthly Errors caught: 100% TIME COMPARISON: Manual review ALL: 500 × 2 min = 16 hours monthly Smart queue UNCERTAIN: 45 × 1.3 min = 1 hour monthly Saved: 15 hours monthly Template in n8n with review queue here THE LESSON: Automation doesn't mean zero human involvement. Means intelligent involvement only where needed.
