A narrow workflow engine scoped to asset tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at life sciences study leads, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Asset Tracker for Life sciences Study Leads is a workflow engine aimed at life sciences study leads, covering asset tracking. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by timing (42). Typical pricing is $2.7k–$55k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Life sciences teams lose equipment located by asking around. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A workflow engine that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
