Diagnostic goal: Limit invoice intake to the access, messages, and attachments needed for the documented workflow.

Identify the failure before changing the record

For teams evaluating mailbox-based document capture, the target is to reduce unnecessary exposure while preserving useful context. First determine whether the source is weak, the extracted value is uncertain, the document belongs to another transaction or the workflow context is missing. Correcting a field before identifying the cause can hide the evidence needed to prevent the same error.

Test	Evidence required
Permissions match the feature.	Define the minimum mailbox scope.
Revocation is understood.	Review provider permissions and revocation controls.
Retention and sharing are documented.	Avoid importing unrelated message content.
