GUIDE: Governed Unified Intelligence for Document-to-Artifact Generation in Enterprise Settings
TL;DR
GUIDE, a governed multi-agent framework built on a shared versioned rule store with schema-validated inter-agent contracts and end-to-end provenance tracking, is introduced, achieving 96% document success, and reduces turnaround to 40-125 minutes per document.
Abstract
Enterprise guideline documents are heterogeneous and multimodal, combining narrative text, complex tables, and embedded images. Existing LLM and VLM systems face hallucinated content, table structure degradation, and lack governed workflows extending beyond extraction to validation and artifact generation. This leaves enterprises to perform this manually, consuming 2-3 days per document. To address this, we introduce GUIDE, a governed multi-agent framework built on a shared versioned rule store with schema-validated inter-agent contracts and end-to-end provenance tracking. Six specialized agents handle parsing, VLM-driven extraction, consistency checking, evaluation, human-in-the-loop (HITL) escalation, and persona-tailored artifact synthesis. Evaluated on 120 real-world enterprise guideline documents, GUIDE achieves 96% document success, extracts 3,896 rules with 71.4% auto-approved, produces 812 deployment-ready artifacts, and reduces turnaround to 40-125 minutes per document.
