A narrow document parser scoped to shift handover alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Construction Handover Recorder is a document parser aimed at construction project managers, covering shift handover. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by moat (48). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$23k.
Construction teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A document parser that handles shift handover 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.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
