WORKED

Designed strict JSON schema contracts and Vertex Schema builders for Gemini, ensuring type-safe, structured output from unstructured financial documents.

WORKED

Vertex (Google) and SambaNova do pretty good on it too, but still, the difference between a top provider and an also-ran is giant.

WORKED

I was an accountant for a SaaS business... and used a plug-in (Vertex) with the ERP to calculate sales tax in each state.

MIXED

There are whole businesses built around managing that complexity, e.g. Avalara, Vertex... Maybe just offload that burden to one of them and focus on building your core innovation.
