A narrow document parser scoped to reporting & analytics alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Reporting Layer Built for Ops Teams is a document parser aimed at construction ops managers, covering reporting & analytics. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (63). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$53k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$29k.
Construction teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A document parser that handles reporting & analytics end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
