A narrow autonomous agent scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at auto repair owner-operators, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.

It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by feasibility (34).

Auto repair teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. In most auto repair businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
An autonomous agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
