Point a document parser at inspection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at professional services project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Professional services Inspection Assistant is a document parser aimed at professional services project managers, covering inspection. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by moat (23). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Professional services teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Inspection handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. Professional services is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
