Point a workflow engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Life sciences Competency Tracker is a workflow engine aimed at life sciences lab managers, covering training & competency. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by timing (51). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$56k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Life sciences teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
