You have a Microsoft Foundry project that ingests scanned PDF invoices stored in Azure Blob Storage. Each invoice contains printed line items and has a table-based layout.
Extracted results are stored as structured JSON and used as grounding data for an agent in a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solution.
You need to create a single analyzer that meets the following requirements:
* Extracts the invoice number, invoice date, vendor name, and total amount across varying templates * Returns confidence scores so that results with confidence below 0.80 can be routed for supervisor review
What should you use?
The correct answer is C because the requirement is structured field extraction from invoices across varying templates, not only OCR or layout preservation. Azure Content Understanding analyzers are reusable configurations that combine content extraction, AI-powered analysis, and structured data output, and Microsoft states that custom analyzers can be created for specific extraction needs. In this case, the analyzer schema should define fields such as invoice number, invoice date, vendor name, and total amount so the output can be returned as structured JSON for downstream RAG grounding.
The confidence-routing requirement also points to Content Understanding field confidence scores. Microsoft documentation states that every field can include a confidence score from 0 to 1, and that confidence scores can be used to automate high-confidence results while routing low-confidence results for human review. A threshold such as 0.80 is therefore an application routing rule based on the returned field confidence. The prebuilt-layout analyzer preserves layout but does not define invoice-specific business fields. Groundedness guardrails evaluate generated answers, not invoice field extraction. Azure AI Search search.score measures retrieval relevance, not extraction confidence.
