Point a document parser at pricing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Pricing Engine Built for Dispatchers is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering pricing. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by moat (27). Typical pricing is $3.6k–$95k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. A typical last-mile delivery operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. 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 per-vehicle, 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
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.
