Amazon Textract almost never fails loudly. A working guide to turning external PDFs and scans into structured data: picking the right operation per document family, parsing the block graph, routing on per-field confidence, and catching the limits that silently truncate your records.
Import mode fails quietly and Live Connect fails loudly. A practical breakdown of what each Zoho Analytics connection mode actually does, where each one wins, the four levers that should drive the choice, and a decision procedure you can run before you build the workspace.
A GraphQL source can hand you a 200 OK, a populated data block, and a quietly broken column in the same response.
