Parsing a document accurately is one thing. Proving where every value came from is another.

When a compliance team reviews an AI extraction, or an auditor needs to sign off on a figure pulled from a financial filing, "it came from this document" isn't enough. They need to see exactly where. The specific cell in the table, the exact line on the page, the precise word the agent used.

Most parsers can get you to a paragraph or a table block. That's where the trail ends.

Today we're shipping Granular Bounding Boxes in LlamaParse — word, line, and cell level coordinates for every value in your document.

The result is a complete, verifiable trail from every extracted value back to its exact source in the document. Built for audit workflows, compliance review, and any pipeline where verification isn't optional.

As frontier models (e.g. Fable 5) continue to push the task horizon of knowledge work automation, it becomes ever more important for humans to be able to audit decisions back to the source context.

It is extremely easy for agents to cite an entire document or document page, but much harder for them to trace back to the exact numbers/words/figures within a page.

Today we've launched granular bounding boxes within LlamaParse, which allows you to obtain visual citations of every single word in the document. This allows human users to audit exact words and figures - not just general document regions or entire pages!

@llama_index Bounding boxes close the gap from "this document" to "this exact cell" — the provenance half most parsers skip. The catch in lending: when an underwriter overrides the figure, the box still points at the original. The trail has to follow the override, not just the parse.

@llama_index Clear source tracking is important for audits and compliance.

@llama_index Exactly — attribution without a verifiable chain from source to output is just a black box. The real value isn't extraction, it's the auditable path back to origin.

@llama_index cell-level lineage is the half nobody ships. real win. but an audit record has two halves: where the value came from, and what the agent then did with it. bounding boxes make the input traceable. you still need the decision traceable: what it did, and whether it was authorized.
