A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at public safety ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Competency Tracker for Public safety Ops Teams is a workflow engine aimed at public safety ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by timing (28). Typical pricing is $3.4k–$72k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$19k.
Public safety teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical public safety operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
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.
