A document parser that handles warranty & returns end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at energy ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Energy Warranty Handler is a document parser aimed at energy ops managers, covering warranty & returns. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by open field (41). Typical pricing is $800–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Energy teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. 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 flat 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
