It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by monetisation (69).

Equipment rental teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
