A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at wholesale ops teams, charging only when it actually works.

It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (77) and held back by demand (56).

Wholesale teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow document parser scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
