Point a document parser at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at architecture project architects, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Extraction-Powered Onboarding Flow for Project Architects is a document parser aimed at architecture project architects, covering onboarding. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (92) and held back by timing (37). Typical pricing is $8.3k–$124k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$15k.
Architecture teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Every architecture team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
