A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Aimed at life sciences study leads, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Automated Intake Triage for Life sciences is a document parser aimed at life sciences study leads, covering intake & triage. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (89) and held back by monetisation (24). Typical pricing is $1.7k–$34k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$18k.
Life sciences teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 13 hours a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that handles intake & triage 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.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
