A narrow autonomous agent scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety compliance leads, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Automated Collections Chaser for Public safety is an autonomous agent aimed at public safety compliance leads, covering collections. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (97) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$103k.
Public safety teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Every public safety team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
