Field reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at aviation ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Aviation Field Reporter is a document parser aimed at aviation ops managers, covering field reporting. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (86) and held back by timing (55). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$71k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$30k.
Aviation teams lose reports typed up in a truck cab after a ten-hour day. Every aviation team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a document parser at field reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Aviation is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
