A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reporting & analytics alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Construction Reporting Layer on Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at construction ops managers, covering reporting & analytics. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by timing (69). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$106k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$14k.
Construction teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Reporting & analytics handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Systems that never talked now expose APIs by default. 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| 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 |
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.
