LlamaIndex has published working draft 0.1 of the Document Parsing Protocol, a set of 140 rules defining what a correctly parsed page should look like across tables, forms, charts, and diagrams.
Why it ranked
No. 98 of 111 with a score of 0.56. The panel rated it highest on new information (0.89) and practical relevance (0.71), lowest on significance (0.51). Placed No. 98, where the score alone would also have put it: the 34th AI & machine learning story of the day (−0.080). The placement terms move stories; they are not part of the score.
- AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
- Relevant to document-parsing and AI/data pipeline builders; a working-draft spec release with concrete examples, but modest significance and it is partly promotional.
- AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
- A concrete draft protocol for structurally faithful document parsing, with explicit rules, examples, HTML output, and reproducibility guidance. It is highly actionable for AI/data builders, though adoption and validation remain early.
Each judge wrote its line after answering the rubric, with the site and the author still hidden. Every answer behind this is in the table under Score.

| SubstantiatedHow well is it backed? Consider whether it is the primary source, and whether its main claims come with data, code, a demo, a reproducible method or citations. | 0.84 | 0.45 | 0.78 | 0.69 | 0.39 | +0.05 | +0.035 |
