Point a document parser at payroll verification, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at facilities facilities directors, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Facilities Payroll Verifier is a document parser aimed at facilities facilities directors, covering payroll verification. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by monetisation (40). Typical pricing is $900–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Facilities teams lose payroll errors found by the employee, not the system. In most facilities businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Payroll verification handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is flat 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
