- Worth noticing
- Its held-out test reports 13 of 13 holdings and debts found, but also one invented entry.
Field notes
The described pipeline filters messages about money, runs Gemma locally through Ollama, and requires each extracted item to match a source quote, institution, and account number. The results come from two invented estates rather than real family inboxes: the second is a 47-email held-out set, where the page reports all 13 holdings and debts found but also one invented entry. The site also describes follow-up letters and regulator complaints, subject to approval.
