A narrow document parser scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at aviation compliance leads, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Extraction Grant Tracker for Aviation is a document parser aimed at aviation compliance leads, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (92) and held back by feasibility (45). Typical pricing is $7.0k–$70k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$101k.
Aviation teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. Every aviation team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
