Point a document parser at intake & triage, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at solar owner-operators, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Extraction Intake Triage for Solar is a document parser aimed at solar owner-operators, covering intake & triage. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (95) and held back by monetisation (44). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$10k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Solar teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 12 hours a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow document parser scoped to intake & triage 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. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
