Point an anomaly detector at payroll verification, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at facilities facilities directors, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Automated Payroll Verifier for Facilities is an anomaly detector aimed at facilities facilities directors, covering payroll verification. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (89) and held back by feasibility (58). Typical pricing is $11k–$170k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$55k.
Facilities teams lose payroll errors found by the employee, not the system. A typical facilities operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to payroll verification alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Facilities is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
