A workflow engine that handles invoicing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health program directors, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Invoice Engine for Mental health Program Directors is a workflow engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering invoicing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by open field (46). Typical pricing is $14k–$204k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Mental health teams lose invoices assembled from four systems by hand. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to invoicing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
