A workflow engine that handles renewal management end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at childcare program directors, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Childcare Renewal Manager on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at childcare program directors, covering renewal management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by open field (42). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Childcare teams lose renewals that lapse because a date sat in a spreadsheet. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a workflow engine at renewal management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
