Point a workflow engine at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at life sciences study leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Life sciences Dispatch on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at life sciences study leads, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by moat (43). Typical pricing is $1.6k–$32k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Life sciences teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. A typical life sciences operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Dispatch handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
