A document parser that handles expense review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at architecture project architects, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Expense Reviewer Built for Project Architects is a document parser aimed at architecture project architects, covering expense review. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (93) and held back by monetisation (60). Typical pricing is $700–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$17k.
Architecture teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. A typical architecture operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow document parser scoped to expense review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
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.
