A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes permit & licence tracking. Aimed at healthcare practice owners, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Healthcare Permit Tracker on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at healthcare practice owners, covering permit & licence tracking. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by open field (44). Typical pricing is $6.8k–$146k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Healthcare teams lose twelve portals refreshed by hand every morning. Every healthcare team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to permit & licence tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
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.
