A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Aimed at facilities maintenance leads, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Extraction Onboarding Flow for Facilities is a document parser aimed at facilities maintenance leads, covering onboarding. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (93) and held back by demand (59). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$42k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Facilities teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Every facilities team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
