A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Incident Recorder for Utilities Field Supervisors is a document parser aimed at utilities field supervisors, covering incident reporting. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (44). Typical pricing is $3.8k–$81k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$88k.
Utilities teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. In most utilities 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 handles incident reporting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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. Utilities is growing at roughly 11% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
