Every field receives a confidence score. High-confidence fields are auto-approved. Fields below the threshold are flagged with a yellow badge for your quick review. You stay in control of what gets sent.
“We flag fields so you catch the 1-in-100 edge case — not because we don't trust our model, but because this letter is going to the IRS.”

How we achieve 98.7% accuracy
AI Vision Extraction
31 fields
across 14 states
Reads certificates the way a human expert would — spatially, not character by character. Handles handwriting, degraded scans, and state variations.
40+ Validation Rules
100%
of fields validated
Every extracted field passes through format checks, date logic, cross-field consistency, and state-specific rules before you see it.
Confidence Scoring
90.7%
errors caught
Each field receives a score. Anything below the 70% threshold is flagged. This catches edge cases before they become errors in sent letters.
98.7% Tier-1 accuracy across 14 U.S. states — verified on 108 real-world certificates

30 Institutions to Notify After a Death
A plain-English checklist of every institution most families need to contact — government agencies, banks, insurance providers, and more. Free.
Common questions
What if my state isn't supported yet?
We currently support 14 states and are adding more every month. Email brand@sedare.ai with your state and we'll prioritize it. You'll be notified when it's available.
Can I use this for old or damaged certificates?
Yes. Sedare handles degraded microfilm scans and older handwritten certificates. Accuracy may be lower on very damaged documents — those fields will be flagged for your review.
What if the AI makes a mistake?
Every field is scored for confidence. Low-confidence fields are flagged before any letter is generated. You review and correct anything uncertain. The final letters reflect your approved data.
How long does the entire process take?
Under 5 minutes for most estates: ~60 seconds to extract, ~2 minutes to review flagged fields, ~3 minutes to generate all letters.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your certificate is processed in memory over an encrypted connection and is never stored on disk. We never sell or share your information.
Can I get help if I'm stuck?
Email brand@sedare.ai. We respond within 24 hours.
What institutions are covered?
30+ institution types — see the full list above. New templates are added regularly.
Do I need to contact each institution myself?
Yes — Sedare generates the letters, but you send them. Many institutions accept scanned copies by email or fax, which makes sending quick.
