A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes invoicing. Aimed at lending ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Lending Invoice Engine is a reconciliation engine aimed at lending ops managers, covering invoicing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by open field (51). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$113k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$52k.
Lending teams lose invoices assembled from four systems by hand. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to invoicing 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.

Systems that never talked now expose APIs by default. Lending is growing at roughly 12% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
