"boost_mode" is a flag that tells Veryfi whether boost mode should be enabled.
When set ON, Veryfi will skip data enrichment steps* but will process the document faster. By default the boost mode is disabled.
boost_mode = 0 - disabled
boost_mode = 1 - enabled
Note: Version 8 abandons 1/0 style booleans for a more traditional true/false style of boolean.
If you use v8:
boost_mode = false - disabled
boost_mode = true - enabled

How is faster speed achieved?
When boost_mode is on, Veryfi will skip data enrichment steps and process documents faster.
boost_mode may skip:
vendor address validation
fields enrichment
vendor check using maps
vendor checks against government DB of registered businesses
logo search on the document
auto-crop on the back-end
auto-rotation on the back-end
blur detection
document conversion to readable PDF
barcode detection
duplicate detection
What will be skipped largely depends on a document's details. If a receipt is simple, there may not be any noticeable differences in the extraction results.
