A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at real estate brokers, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Real estate Onboarding Flow on Extraction is a document parser aimed at real estate brokers, covering onboarding. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (95) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$55k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Real estate teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a document parser at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Real estate is growing at roughly 13% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
