Point a document parser at intake & triage, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at agriculture agronomists, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Extraction-Powered Intake Triage for Agronomists is a document parser aimed at agriculture agronomists, covering intake & triage. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (83) and held back by demand (69). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$15k.
Agriculture teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 18 hours a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A document parser that handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Agriculture is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
