A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes incident reporting. Aimed at public safety compliance leads, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Public safety Incident Recorder on Extraction is a document parser aimed at public safety compliance leads, covering incident reporting. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by monetisation (31). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$20k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Public safety teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. In most public safety businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow document parser scoped to incident reporting 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. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
