Over the last few weeks, we’ve been reviewing your input about the experience and the work that has been reviewed so far and we’re excited to announce some major changes to the way things are being done!!! This update should happen tomorrow morning (May 24th).

First, Family Review is being simplified! There are quite a few fields that are over 98% accurate from the AI and you have verified that. So, we will no longer be reviewing those. YAH!! As such, the # of fields we are reviewing for Family Review is down to just 12! We hope that this will make it a much more enjoyable experience, one that we will be able to accomplish more quickly.

Second, Header Review, while still an important part of the entire review process, is going to be reviewed in a different manner. It will show as 100% complete, and you will be able to focus on either Name Review or Family Review.

Finally, Name Review will stay as is, we won’t see changes there—we are about at 55% complete! We anticipate being done in late June, and as we work to bring more people into this new experience, we hope to get it done even more quickly!

Rest assured, all the review done to this point is being saved and carried over into the other way that we will be reviewing these records. Nothing is being lost, your reviews have made it so that this next process will go that much faster. Again, thank you for all that you are doing! We’re excited to be able to begin sharing more frequent updates that show significant progress, especially in Family Review!

    Although reducing the number of fields to review will make the process easier, it seems to me that this drastically diminish the effectiveness of the details in the index.
