Point a document parser at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at dental office managers, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Dental Incident Recorder is a document parser aimed at dental office managers, covering incident reporting. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by moat (38). Typical pricing is $3.0k–$61k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$5.0k.
Dental teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. Every dental team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Incident reporting handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Dental is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
