Reconciliation handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Logistics Reconciler on Extraction is a document parser aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering reconciliation. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$112k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$18k.
Logistics teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. A typical logistics operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow document parser scoped to reconciliation 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
