A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at manufacturing quality teams, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Manufacturing Incident Recorder on Extraction is a document parser aimed at manufacturing quality leads, covering incident reporting. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (85) and held back by timing (70). Typical pricing is $1.4k–$28k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$12k.
Manufacturing teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. In most manufacturing businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a document parser at incident reporting, 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. Manufacturing is growing at roughly 16% 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 |
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.
