Point a document parser at intake & triage, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at staffing schedulers, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Automated Intake Triage for Staffing is a document parser aimed at staffing schedulers, covering intake & triage. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by open field (44). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$101k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$37k.
Staffing teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 12 hours a week. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Intake & triage 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. Staffing is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
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.
