A document parser that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Pricing Engine for Last-mile delivery, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering pricing. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $12k–$181k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$102k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow document parser scoped to pricing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
