A workflow engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health program directors, so the work stops following people home.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by open field (43).

Mental health teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
