A narrow workflow engine scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Proposal Builder for Legal Solo Practitioners is a workflow engine aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering proposal writing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by timing (24). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$36k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$16k.
Legal teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. 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.
A workflow engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-matter, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
