Mature document engine with robust form filling, flattening, and signing, offered as a self-hostable Document Engine (Docker) as well as SDKs — good when data can't leave your infrastructure and you want reliable, well-documented form APIs. Near-tie with Anvil: pick Nutrient for control/self-hosting, Anvil for fastest field-mapping automation.
Where Nutrient falls short, per the models
