It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (96) and held back by timing (37).

Public safety teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical public safety operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
