A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Aimed at energy asset managers, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Automated Reconciler for Energy is a document parser aimed at energy asset managers, covering reconciliation. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $14k–$202k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$118k.
Energy teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a document parser at reconciliation, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
