A document parser that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at security services schedulers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Extraction Pricing Engine for Security services is a document parser aimed at security services schedulers, covering pricing. It scores 84/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by demand (78). Typical pricing is $3.2k–$68k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$13k.
Security services teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
