A narrow workflow engine scoped to renewal management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction owner-operators, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Automated Renewal Manager for Construction is a workflow engine aimed at construction owner-operators, covering renewal management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (89) and held back by moat (43). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$71k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$44k.
Construction teams lose renewals that lapse because a date sat in a spreadsheet. A typical construction operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Renewal management handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
