Implementation prerequisites

Limitations
- Migration timing depends on source data quality, document structure, and the availability of workflow owners for validation.
- External data exchange depends on API access, export formats, permissions, and customer-side system constraints.
- AI-assisted review and drafting require human legal, compliance, or business approval before final action.
