A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at accounting ops teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Accounting Incident Recorder on Extraction is a document parser aimed at accounting ops managers, covering incident reporting. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (87) and held back by moat (50). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$36k.
Accounting teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Accounting is growing at roughly 11% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
