Inspection handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at lending loan officers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Extraction Inspection Assistant for Lending is a document parser aimed at lending loan officers, covering inspection. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$101k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$34k.
Lending teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inspection. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Lending is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
