A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at energy ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Onboarding Flow Built for Ops Teams is a document parser aimed at energy ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by feasibility (64). Typical pricing is $11k–$110k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$58k.
Energy teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
