A narrow workflow engine scoped to warranty & returns alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Construction Warranty Handler on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at construction estimators, covering warranty & returns. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by timing (32). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Construction teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A workflow engine that handles warranty & returns end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
