I’m on the side of peoples who gave up on organization entirely, and have a stream of scanned documents with only the scanned date as the title for 99% of them.

I’m on the side of peoples who gave up on organization entirely, and have a stream of scanned documents with only the scanned date as the title for 99% of them. The docs are OCRed and I retrieve them mostly by search, with tags for a few critical docs and by approximate dates for the rest if search by content fails completely. This is viable, and there’s no way I’ll go back to manually setting up tags and names on all the docs that we scan in case it’s needed some day. It’s like asking everyone to do inbox zero with their mail, why would you put your time in the hand of uncontrolled external forces feeding you more info day after day?
