A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to margin monitoring alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at government compliance leads, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Government Margin Watch on Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at government compliance leads, covering margin monitoring. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (94) and held back by feasibility (48). Typical pricing is $15k–$229k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$117k.
Government teams lose discovering a product went underwater a quarter late. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Margin monitoring handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Systems that never talked now expose APIs by default. Government is growing at roughly 10% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
