Reconciliation handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at energy ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Energy Reconciler on Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at energy ops managers, covering reconciliation. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by timing (51). Typical pricing is $5.8k–$116k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$18k.
Energy teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. A typical energy operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
