It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (85) and held back by feasibility (65).

Equipment rental teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
