A narrow document parser scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at government program directors, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Reconciler for Government Program Directors is a document parser aimed at government program directors, covering reconciliation. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by open field (59). Typical pricing is $8.0k–$161k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$15k.
Government teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A document parser that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
