Point a document parser at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at accounting partners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Automated Incident Recorder for Accounting is a document parser aimed at accounting partners, covering incident reporting. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by open field (46). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$83k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$32k.
Accounting teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. 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.
Incident reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
