It's hard to know what to make of this because while you've included the output JSON you haven't included the input PDF so I have no idea how to interpret what it's actually doing.

Give it a try on any PDF! This is just 100 LOC, easy to audit.

I had very good experience with `gemini-2.0-flash-exp`:

I still remember the teacher in med school showing us how exclusively eating mushrooms and wild boars[1] while living in a poorly ventilated granite house (radon gas) in eastern France still wouldn’t reach the levels of exposure one would get from the soil in some western parts of France.

It was enlightening, to say the least.

But then, it isn’t really a risk worth taking in any case.

[1]: because one can’t just live on mushrooms, but boars do eat a lot of those

Do you mean the other way around?

This map suggests that western France is fine:
