A narrow workflow engine scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Public safety Onboarding Flow on Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at public safety ops managers, covering onboarding. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by timing (57). Typical pricing is $12k–$174k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Public safety teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A workflow engine that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
