A narrow workflow engine scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at healthcare practice owners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Incident Recorder for Healthcare, Run by Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at healthcare practice owners, covering incident reporting. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by timing (25). Typical pricing is $19k–$277k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$10k.
Healthcare 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. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a workflow engine at incident reporting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
