A narrow document parser scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at agriculture co-op managers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Agriculture RFP Responder on Extraction is a document parser aimed at agriculture co-op managers, covering RFP response. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by demand (56). Typical pricing is $11k–$160k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$17k.
Agriculture teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes RFP response. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Agriculture is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
