A workflow engine that handles renewal management end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at energy asset managers, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Energy Renewal Manager on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at energy asset managers, covering renewal management. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (89) and held back by timing (23). Typical pricing is $8.1k–$81k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$5.0k.
Energy teams lose renewals that lapse because a date sat in a spreadsheet. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to renewal management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
