A document parser that handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Intake Triage for Construction, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at construction ops managers, covering intake & triage. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (87) and held back by open field (37). Typical pricing is $700–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Construction teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 7 hours a week. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow document parser scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
