A narrow document parser scoped to pricing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at government compliance leads, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Extraction Pricing Engine for Government is a document parser aimed at government compliance leads, covering pricing. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (89) and held back by demand (70). Typical pricing is $6.0k–$128k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$59k.
Government teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. In most government businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Pricing handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
