Point a document parser at RFP response, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at mental health clinic admins, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: RFP Responder for Mental health, Run by Extraction is a document parser aimed at mental health clinic admins, covering RFP response. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (82) and held back by monetisation (63). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$103k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$13k.
Mental health teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. In most mental health businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow document parser scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
