Point a document parser at pricing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at security services ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Extraction Pricing Engine for Security services is a document parser aimed at security services ops managers, covering pricing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by monetisation (21). Typical pricing is $800–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Security services teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. In most security services businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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.
