A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes invoicing. Aimed at dental clinic admins, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Dental Invoice Engine is a workflow engine aimed at dental clinic admins, covering invoicing. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by timing (31). Typical pricing is $1.4k–$28k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Dental teams lose invoices assembled from four systems by hand. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A workflow engine that handles invoicing 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 |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
