A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Aimed at maritime surveyors, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Extraction Intake Triage for Maritime is a document parser aimed at maritime surveyors, covering intake & triage. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by demand (55). Typical pricing is $1.5k–$30k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$5.0k.
Maritime teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 11 hours a week. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Intake & triage handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
