A document parser that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at government ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Government Onboarding Flow is a document parser aimed at government ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by monetisation (61). Typical pricing is $5.2k–$112k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$42k.
Government teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. A typical government operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
