Purpose
Demonstrate a transparent verification method for public-report extraction: identify a fixed table slice, capture values from the PDF, and compare them with an official structured companion source.
Public-source benchmarkReviewed 2026-09-13
Public report data extraction benchmark
Eight values from a published Australian Department of Finance report checked against the Department’s official workbook.
This CSV is a public, precomputed demonstration output. CSV exports from your own extraction jobs still require active paid access.
Input
Table 1 from the 2024-25 Net Zero in Government Operations Annual Progress Report, checked against cells in the official companion workbook.
Benchmark result
8 of 8 sampled rows matched the official workbook
Exact integer equality after removing display thousands separators; not a model-accuracy score.
Field definitions
What each output column means
- Metric
- The metric label represented in Table 1.
- Value

- Unit
- The measure attached to the value.
- Printed page
- The page number printed in the report.
- PDF page
- The one-based page number in the PDF file.
- Workbook sheet

- Workbook cell
- The official workbook cell containing the numeric value.
- Exact match
- Whether normalized integer values matched exactly.

Methodology
- 1. Fix the benchmark to eight numeric rows from Table 1 before comparison.
- 2. Read the metric, value, and unit from the official PDF without re-hosting the report.
- 3. Normalize thousands separators only; do not round, infer, or convert units.
- 4. Compare each integer with the named cell on the official workbook’s Table 1 sheet.
- 5. Publish the derived CSV with the PDF page, printed page, workbook sheet, cell, and match outcome.
Limitations
- • This is a deliberately small table slice, not a representative accuracy score for the full 66-page report.
- • The method checks transcription consistency against a companion workbook; it does not measure model accuracy.
- • The 2024-25 data had not yet undergone the amendment process described in the report.
- • The source publisher may update the official files. The review date identifies the version checked here.
