Point a document parser at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at energy ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Energy Onboarding Flow is a document parser aimed at energy ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (92) and held back by open field (55). Typical pricing is $1.4k–$28k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Energy teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Every energy team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
