A narrow autonomous agent scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Collections Chaser for Construction, Run by Agent is an autonomous agent aimed at construction estimators, covering collections. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by feasibility (24). Typical pricing is $6.1k–$122k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$98k.
Construction teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow autonomous agent scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Tool-using agents became reliable enough to close a loop without supervision. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
