Reconciliation handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Reconciler for Utilities, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at utilities field supervisors, covering reconciliation. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (91) and held back by demand (34). Typical pricing is $8.5k–$85k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$50k.
Utilities teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. 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.
A narrow document parser scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Document parsing stopped needing per-layout templates. Utilities is growing at roughly 11% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
