A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at franchising franchisor ops, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Reconciler Built for Franchisor Ops is a reconciliation engine aimed at franchising franchisor opss, covering reconciliation. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (32). Typical pricing is $6.1k–$122k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$87k.
Franchising teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A reconciliation engine that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
