Collections handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at public safety ops teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Collections Chaser Built for Ops Teams is a workflow engine aimed at public safety ops managers, covering collections. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (47). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$71k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$14k.
Public safety teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. A typical public safety 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.
Point a workflow engine at collections, 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.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
