Point a workflow engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at childcare program directors, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Automated Competency Tracker for Childcare is a workflow engine aimed at childcare program directors, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by timing (45). Typical pricing is $3.2k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Childcare teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every childcare team solves this the same way: someone stays late. 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 training & competency. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
