A narrow classifier scoped to expense review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at education ops teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Expense Reviewer for Education Ops Teams is a classifier aimed at education ops managers, covering expense review. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$113k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$14k.
Education teams lose expenses approved without anyone actually reading them. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A classifier that handles expense review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Education is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
