An anomaly detector that handles expense review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at architecture principals, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Architecture Expense Reviewer is an anomaly detector aimed at architecture principals, covering expense review. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $9.9k–$148k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$94k.
Architecture teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. Every architecture team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes expense review. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
