A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Aimed at franchising field supervisors, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Reconciler Built for Field Supervisors is a document parser aimed at franchising field supervisors, covering reconciliation. It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by feasibility (50). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$91k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$110k.
Franchising teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Reconciliation handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Franchising is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
