A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at facilities ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Facilities Onboarding Flow is a document parser aimed at facilities ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (87) and held back by demand (69). Typical pricing is $11k–$163k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Facilities teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Onboarding handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Facilities is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
