A narrow workflow engine scoped to dispatch alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at home care compliance leads, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Dispatch for Home care, Run by Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at home care compliance leads, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by moat (25). Typical pricing is $9.3k–$139k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Home care teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. Every home care team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a workflow engine at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
