Point a document parser at warranty & returns, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction owner-operators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by moat (33). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$93k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$12k.
Construction teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes warranty & returns. 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
