Point an anomaly detector at payroll verification, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Payroll Verifier Built for Owner-Operators is an anomaly detector aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering payroll verification. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (48). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$72k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$49k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose payroll errors found by the employee, not the system. In most last-mile delivery businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
An anomaly detector that handles payroll verification end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
