Point a document parser at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at accounting partners, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Extraction Onboarding Flow for Accounting is a document parser aimed at accounting partners, covering onboarding. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (24). Typical pricing is $4.9k–$104k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$32k.
Accounting teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. 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 onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
