A narrow workflow engine scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at warehousing inventory planners, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Incident Recorder Built for Inventory Planners is a workflow engine aimed at warehousing inventory planners, covering incident reporting. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by timing (23). Typical pricing is $3.7k–$79k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$20k.
Warehousing teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A workflow engine that handles incident reporting 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.

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