Retains the recurring page-header logo consistently across all 17 pages that carry it; the returned crops on pages 2 and 18 are the same mark and wordmark, with only a 1px width difference (453x36 vs 452x36) consistent with rounding.
What was measured
Visual Content Retention
Retains charts, figures, diagrams, and images in the output and places them in the correct reading position.
decisive for this rankingtransformation
For complex PDFs, figures, charts, and images are part of the document content, so preserving them in the right place is part of the core job. (3 of 3 judges)

Advanced Features✗ FailedThe confidence field is nearly useless here: the only low-confidence flag is a false alarm on the correct page-18 section header, while the genuinely broken Business Results table stays high-confidence throughout.Advanced Features✓ WorkedSchema-driven extract.run fully recovers the broken Business Results table, separating the 2024 value and percent-change fields that parse.run had merged together.Complex Document Handling◐ MixedProcesses the 18-page report in 9.7 seconds with no truncation; the 9-column segment table at page 17 is flawless even though the first table on page 2 is broken.Markdown Quality✓ WorkedKeeps the syntax clean: no <signature>, <empty>, <b>, <i>, or <u> tags appear anywhere in the output, and the table-of-contents extract renders as a valid pipe table.Reading Order & Structure✗ FailedProvides zero markdown heading markup across all 18 pages; the Roman-numeral sections and numbered subsections are flattened into plain text despite the source’s visible section hierarchy.Table Preservation✗ FailedBreaks a 5-column business-results table by duplicating the 2025 header and merging the 2024 value and percent change into one cell; the Net sales row ends up with 254,811 and 2.6 smashed together.Table Preservation✓ WorkedPreserves the balance-sheet hierarchy and values, including Assets > Current assets > Cash and deposits, and also reconstructs the later 9-column segment table with all values correct.Text & OCR Completeness✓ WorkedConverts all 18 pages with no omitted text; a dense financial-condition paragraph preserves multiple JPY-billion values exactly, including JPY1,252.7 billion, JPY623.6 billion, JPY27.2 billion, JPY10.8 billion, JPY5.0 billion, and JPY9.7 billion.
