Kenneth AI vs DocuClipper: OCR to Excel vs Insolvency-grade Analysis

Executive summary#

• Kenneth AI adds SIP2 aware bank analysis for insolvency work: one-click statement import, which pulls Companies House data to find connected-parties (including directors, shareholders, associated companies), then to group all other transactions into their counterparties.
• DocuClipper is great when you need conversion of financial PDFs to Excel/CSV/QBO. The categorisations and analysis however all have to be manually set up. Pricing is page-based.
• On cost positioning, our offer is roughly half DocuClipper's Business price with roughly double the included volume. DocuClipper's public Business plan is £111/month for 640 pages, with page-count rules that can matter for statement packs.

At-a-glance comparison#

Where Kenneth AI leads for Investigative work#

1. SIP2 alignment#

Kenneth frames the data the way an IP actually investigates: connected parties first, cash movement over time, key counterparties like HMRC, pensions and wages. You start closer to your SIP2 write-up, not with a raw CSV that still needs wrangling.

Key counterparty grouping and analysis

2. Semantic Understanding of counterparties#

Kenneth understands the context of counterparties, then groups transactions by entity across messy descriptors. Variants of "J BLOGGS," "JOE B," and "J. Blogg" resolve to the same party, so you can:

• highlight all connected-party transactions in one click
• see % of outgoings to connected parties
• jump from the party to every relevant transaction within the case context

Semantic counterparty matching and grouping

3. Connected-party intelligence#

On case set up, Kenneth automatically pulls connected parties from Companies House the moment you enter a company registration number. Directors, shareholders, and associated companies can then be flagged and cross-referenced against bank activity, eliminating hours of manual document review and ensuring no connected party relationships slip through the cracks.

Connected party identification and flagging

4. Graph-based view for fast pattern spotting#

Each party has a monthly activity chart. You see spikes, droughts and late-stage cash behaviour as the company nears insolvency, which makes the first pass analysis visual and immediate. From there, one click pivots to the underlying transactions for evidence.

5. Investigation-ready XLSX#

Exports that match the way IP teams write up findings, rather than a raw dump that needs further transformation.
