Pricing handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at aviation ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Pricing Engine for Aviation, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at aviation ops managers, covering pricing. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (93) and held back by open field (46). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Aviation teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. In most aviation businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow document parser scoped to pricing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Aviation is growing at roughly 12% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
