Method

We collected 448 public posts published after 1 November 2025 in which a builder describes document AI failing. Each link was re-opened on 8 November 2026. We kept the 290 where the quote is on the page, the author describes an incident and not an opinion, and has no tie to a vendor. Quotes are verbatim and trimmed after 420 characters. The grouping is ours. A complaint is not a measurement.
