A narrow workflow engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at franchising franchisees, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Franchising Grant Tracker on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at franchising franchisees, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by timing (26). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$102k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$14k.
Franchising teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. Every franchising team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
