An autonomous agent that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at e-commerce ops teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.

It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (97) and held back by open field (22).

E-commerce teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Onboarding handled by an autonomous agent, 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.

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
