What the workflow problem is
Laycan wording can be explicit, approximate or dependent on message context. The safe workflow preserves the original phrase, normalizes dates only where supportable and flags ambiguity for review.
What LaycanMatch supports
LaycanMatch stores laycan text and normalized dates when available, links the offer to its source and includes timing in search and matching.
Important product boundary
No extraction system should turn an unclear phrase into certainty. A date score does not replace checking the current broker communication.
How to evaluate it
Test exact ranges, mid-month wording, prompt dates, forwarded updates and conflicting dates. Confirm that uncertainty stays visible.
