A narrow workflow engine scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Construction Onboarding Flow is a workflow engine aimed at construction ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (86) and held back by feasibility (61). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$29k.
Construction teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Onboarding 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.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
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.
