Point a document parser at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at solar owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Automated Contract Analyser for Solar is a document parser aimed at solar owner-operators, covering contract analysis. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (86) and held back by open field (51). Typical pricing is $700–$7.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$14k.
Solar teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. A typical solar operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow document parser scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
