A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Intake Triage for Last-mile delivery, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering intake & triage. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by open field (27). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$11k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 14 hours a week. Every last-mile delivery team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a document parser at intake & triage, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
