Point a workflow engine at permit & licence tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at life sciences compliance leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Permit Tracker Built for Compliance Leads is a workflow engine aimed at life sciences compliance leads, covering permit & licence tracking. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (84) and held back by timing (28). Typical pricing is $3.4k–$68k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$19k.
Life sciences teams lose twelve portals refreshed by hand every morning. Every life sciences team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A workflow engine that handles permit & licence tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
