A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Aimed at security services schedulers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Pricing Engine for Security services Schedulers is a document parser aimed at security services schedulers, covering pricing. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (90) and held back by monetisation (66). Typical pricing is $8.7k–$131k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$16k.
Security services 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.
Pricing handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. Security services is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
