A document parser that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal partners, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Legal Pricing Engine on Extraction is a document parser aimed at legal partners, covering pricing. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (88) and held back by open field (41). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Legal teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a document parser at pricing, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Legal is growing at roughly 12% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
