Which documents should you start with?

Those still in use or at risk (active contracts, sensitive HR files, files in dispute) — not the dustiest box.

Do you need OCR everywhere?

Yes, on everything that needs to be searchable. An image scan without text is just a digital drawer.

Upload (including from mobile), OCR, record and filing in the same repository as born-digital flows.

Digitising everything at once is a mirage. Prioritise what commits the business, then scale up.
