It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (89) and held back by timing (40).

Energy teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A workflow engine that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
