Incident reporting handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at food production ops teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.

It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (95) and held back by timing (43). Typical pricing is $900–$18k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$15k.
Food production teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A workflow engine that handles incident reporting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
