A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Aimed at life sciences study leads, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Life sciences Pricing Engine on Extraction is a document parser aimed at life sciences study leads, covering pricing. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $5.8k–$123k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$118k.
Life sciences teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. A typical life sciences operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow document parser scoped to pricing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
