Point a workflow engine at claims & appeals, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at mental health program directors, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Appeal Drafter for Mental health, Run by Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering claims & appeals. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by moat (48). Typical pricing is $7.0k–$139k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$37k.
Mental health teams lose denials abandoned because appealing costs more than the claim. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes claims & appeals. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
