A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at energy asset managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Extraction Onboarding Flow for Energy is a document parser aimed at energy asset managers, covering onboarding. It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by open field (43). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$11k.
Energy teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Onboarding 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. Energy is growing at roughly 18% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
