A narrow document parser scoped to pricing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at pest control owner-operators, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Extraction Pricing Engine for Pest control is a document parser aimed at pest control owner-operators, covering pricing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (95) and held back by moat (49). Typical pricing is $800–$17k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Pest control teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. In most pest control businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A document parser that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
