A document parser that handles quoting & estimating end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at insurance brokers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (93) and held back by timing (40).

Insurance teams lose quotes that take three days and still miss margin. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes quoting & estimating. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Insurance is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
