The 4-bit LLM hallucinated my Halifax statement. A band-based parser fixed it.

bb finance's Phase H spike wired a 4-bit quantised Llama 3.2 1B as the primary PDF extraction route. On real Halifax statements it hallucinated at a destructive rate — page 3 has 34 transactions; the model returned something else. PF-002 disabled the LLM path and replaced it with a deterministic band-based parser that lands 54 of 54.
