A narrow document parser scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety department heads, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Extraction-Powered Intake Triage for Department Heads is a document parser aimed at public safety department heads, covering intake & triage. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (97) and held back by feasibility (48). Typical pricing is $3.8k–$58k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$121k.
Public safety teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 9 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.
Intake & triage handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
