Nueco Approval-ready: Technical Preview

Every check shown. Every decision still yours.

NDIS's own auditor found that only about 0.02% of claims get checked before they're paid. That job already sits with you, whether anyone told you so or not. Most invoicing tools sell you a percentage: 90% accurate, 70% touchless. This one shows the reason behind every pass and every flag, in plain language, so if a claim is ever questioned, you're not reconstructing why it went through. You already know. Nothing here approves or pays anything. That's still you, every time.

Checks arithmetic and item codes against a demo-sized slice of the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, plus duplicate, budget and deadline checks below. It doesn't verify a claim is genuine, and it never touches real participant data. Use your own de-identified figures to try it.

This is a proof of concept, not a live product. If this gets built for real, data would be hosted in Australia under full data sovereignty, with security practices built to match rather than just promised. Nothing here reflects Nueco's actual infrastructure today.

The thinking behind it, and the commitments we'd hold ourselves to, are on the approval-ready page.

    Extract line items from a provider PDFexperimental

    Every invoice needs the same four checks, and none of them need a person, until one fails. Typing details in by hand is where the day actually goes. Upload a provider invoice PDF here and it pulls out the item codes, quantities and totals for you, ready to check below.

    The PDF file itself never leaves your browser. It's read locally, and only the text it contains is sent on. Even so, the same standard applies here as on the approval-ready page: strip participant names, NDIS numbers and any other identifying details from the invoice first. This preview has no seven day deletion and no human at Nueco reviewing what you upload.

    This tool checks arithmetic and item codes only. It doesn't verify that a claim, provider or invoice is genuine, and takes no responsibility for anything fraudulent, false or unauthorised in what's uploaded. That responsibility stays with whoever submits it.

    Unlike the CSV tool above, this step leaves your browser. The extracted text goes to a Nueco endpoint, which passes it to Anthropic's API on Nueco's own credentials and returns the structured lines. Your Claude account and its data settings aren't involved either way. Nueco keeps no copy: the endpoint holds the text for the length of one request and writes nothing to a database. Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, inputs sent this way aren't used to train its models, though they can be retained for a limited period for trust and safety purposes. See privacy.claude.com. Note that this one step runs on global infrastructure, so it isn't Australian-resident the way the real product would be. If you want a path with no AI and no network request at all, use the CSV batch tool below instead.

    Check a batch of invoice lines

    Upload your invoice line items directly, or let the PDF step above fill this in for you. Catches what usually gets found too late: a line paid twice, a category already over budget, a claim ageing past the point NDIS will still pay it. Everything runs in your own browser. Nothing leaves it, except the invoice text sent to Claude when you use the PDF step.

    By uploading a CSV here, you're confirming it meets the same standard set out on the approval-ready page: participant names, NDIS numbers and any other identifying details are stripped out before the file reaches this tool, and you're authorised to share what's left. This preview isn't part of Nueco's actual data handling process. There's no seven day deletion and no human at Nueco reviewing what you upload, so treat it as a technical demo, not the real service.

    This tool checks arithmetic and item codes only. It doesn't verify that a claim, provider or invoice is genuine, and takes no responsibility for anything fraudulent, false or unauthorised in what's uploaded. That responsibility stays with whoever submits it.

    This CSV is never used to train any AI model. The checks below run as plain code in your own browser. Nothing is sent to Claude, or anywhere else, for this step, so there's nothing to train on in the first place. Run a batch and the results will show your browser's own network log confirming no requests were made. Full commitments are at ndis.nueco.app/approval-ready.

    This preview only knows 17 NDIS item codes. They're a small sample, picked to show how the checks work and how each result is explained. Upload a real file and any code outside those 17 comes back as unmatched rather than checked. That's this preview's limit, not a problem with your file.

    Duplicate checking uses provider + participant reference + item + date, matched against every line checked in this browser this session (including the single-line tool above).

    Checks beyond approval-ready's original four

    Duplicate detection catches a line you'd otherwise pay twice, then have to chase back. Submission-window tracking flags a claim before it ages past the point NDIS will still pay it, so a provider isn't left waiting for money that never comes. The category-budget check stops a claim going through when a participant's funding in that category is already spent, so nobody finds out the hard way at month's end. That last one needs a real number from your own system. This preview only ever uses what you type in. It has no connection to any actual participant's plan.

    Why PDF extraction works differently to the rest

    Reading a PDF and guessing what each line means is a judgment call, not a lookup. That's genuinely uncertain, which is why it uses Claude instead of a fixed rule. Treat every extracted line as a first draft. Check it in the mapping step before running the checks, the same way you'd check a junior team member's data entry. This is also the only part of this preview that sends anything elsewhere: the file is read in your browser, then its text goes to a Nueco endpoint and on to Anthropic to be interpreted. Keep that in mind before trying it on a real invoice with a participant's name still on it.

    What this preview won't tell you

    It can't tell you whether a support actually happened, only whether the paperwork adds up. It never gives a final answer by itself: a flagged line waits for someone to look at it, and even a clean line still needs your team's sign-off before anything gets paid.

    Why this looks different from the software you already use

    NDIS's own auditor found that only about 0.02% of claims get checked before they're paid. My Plan Manager, MyIntegra and Careview already automate most of the individual checks that catch what falls through that gap, and do it well. None of them show you the reasoning behind a decision the way this does. That's the bet here. Not being first to automate, but being the one whose answer you can hand straight to an auditor without translating it first.

    Where the numbers come from

    Item codes and price limits: a hand-picked slice of 17 items from the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 (version 1.2, effective 1 July 2026), published by the NDIA. Seventeen is enough to show every check firing, and nowhere near the full schedule, so expect codes you use every day to come back unmatched. Everything else, the plan window, the invoice figures, comes from whatever you type in. This preview has no connection to any real participant or provider system.

    Tell us what this got wrong

    This is a preview built to be argued with. If a check fired when it shouldn't have, missed something obvious, or the reasoning read as nonsense on a real invoice, that's the most useful thing you could send us. Leave an email and we'll follow up as it gets built for real.

    This form is the only part of the page that sends anything to Nueco, and only what you type into it. Nothing from the checks, the CSV or the PDF is attached. We'll email once to confirm the address; no list, no newsletter, unsubscribe in one click.
