1 in 4 forms bounce. Yours don't have to.
NIGO rejections aren't a paperwork problem — they're a retyping problem. Emma fills forms from the source documents once — one consistent record across the whole packet — so not-in-good-order errors never get introduced.

Why it happens
NIGO is a retyping tax.
Without Emma
A packet gets rejected for a missing signature date, a mistyped SSN, an account number that doesn't match the transfer form. Every field was retyped by a human from a PDF — and every retype is a chance to bounce.
- Fields typed by hand across systems
- Mismatches found after submission
- Client signs again. And again.
With Emma
Emma pulls every field from the source document once — then fills every form from the same data. Same SSN everywhere. Same address everywhere. The typos and mismatches that trigger a NIGO rejection never get introduced.
- One extraction, every form
- Errors prevented at the source
- Client signs once, done
How it works
Three steps. Zero bounces.
Upload the source docs
A 1040, a statement, meeting notes. Emma reads every field — no retyping, no transposition errors.
Emma fills it right
She populates every field from one source record — consistent values across the whole packet, no blanks, no mismatches — so the conditions that trigger NIGO never get introduced.
