A workflow engine that handles permit & licence tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Permit Tracker for Construction Project Managers is a workflow engine aimed at construction project managers, covering permit & licence tracking. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by timing (25). Typical pricing is $11k–$168k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Construction teams lose twelve portals refreshed by hand every morning. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to permit & licence tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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.
