Point a workflow engine at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at solar ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Automated Incident Recorder for Solar is a workflow engine aimed at solar ops managers, covering incident reporting. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by open field (48). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$85k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$16k.
Solar teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. Every solar team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a workflow engine at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
