A narrow document parser scoped to inspection alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality general managers, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Inspection Assistant Built for General Managers is a document parser aimed at hospitality general managers, covering inspection. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by moat (22). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$5.0k.
Hospitality teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inspection. 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. Hospitality is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
