A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at maritime ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Extraction Incident Recorder for Maritime is a document parser aimed at maritime ops managers, covering incident reporting. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by demand (47). Typical pricing is $800–$17k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$10k.
Maritime teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes incident reporting. 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. Maritime is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
