A narrow document parser scoped to warranty & returns alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction ops teams, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Construction Warranty Handler on Extraction is a document parser aimed at construction ops managers, covering warranty & returns. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (47). Typical pricing is $13k–$194k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$14k.
Construction teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a document parser at warranty & returns, 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.

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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
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.
