Pricing handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Pricing Engine Built for Dispatchers is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering pricing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by moat (46). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$65k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$18k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A document parser that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
