Reconciliation handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at solar owner-operators, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.

It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $4.6k–$70k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$18k.
Solar teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. In most solar businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Revenue is data subscription, 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
