Reading your document summary

After an document analysis, the document detail page shows four sections of output. This article explains the summary and key points, EHCP flags and DLA extracts are covered in separate guides.

The summary

The summary is a 3–5 sentence overview of the document in plain English. It is written to be understandable without reading the full document.

Use the summary to:

• Quickly remind yourself what a document says when you haven't read it recently
• Give a new professional or advocate a quick briefing on what the document covers
• Spot immediately if the document is relevant to a particular line of argument

The summary is generated from the full document text. It will not include everything, it captures the main points only.

Key points

Key points are structured extractions across five categories:

Diagnoses: Any formal or working diagnoses mentioned in the document: "ADHD (combined type) confirmed by Dr Singh at Great Ormond Street, March 2024."

Professional opinions: The professional's assessments and conclusions: "Assessed as having significant difficulties with sensory processing that affect daily functioning."

Support recommendations: What the professional thinks should be in place: "Recommends 1:1 support during transitions and unstructured time."

Behavioural observations: What the professional observed directly: "Observed to become dysregulated when the activity changed without warning."

Functional difficulties: Specific ways the child's difficulties affect their daily life: "Unable to manage personal care independently; requires prompting and physical assistance for dressing."

How accurate is SENVault?

SENVault is generally accurate for well-structured, typed documents. It is less accurate for:

• Handwritten notes
• Highly specialist or jargon-heavy reports
• Documents where the relevant information is spread across many pages
• Scanned documents with low image quality

Always read the original document alongside the analysis results. The The analysis results are a starting point, not a replacement for reading the evidence yourself.

Editing the output

Any field in the analysis results can be edited. Select the edit icon next to a summary or key point and type your correction. Edited fields are marked with a small indicator so you know which parts have been manually adjusted.

Your edits are saved immediately and are reflected anywhere the output appears, in bundle annotations, EHCP flag views, and case summaries.
