A narrow workflow engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at home care agency owners, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Home care Competency Tracker is a workflow engine aimed at home care agency owners, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by moat (50). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$94k.
Home care teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical home care operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to training & competency 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.

|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
