A document parser that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at facilities maintenance leads, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Reconciler for Facilities, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at facilities maintenance leads, covering reconciliation. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$84k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$22k.
Facilities teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. Every facilities team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a document parser at reconciliation, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
