Point an anomaly detector at reconciliation, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at government program directors, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Reconciler for Government, Run by Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at government program directors, covering reconciliation. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by monetisation (41). Typical pricing is $10k–$103k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$49k.
Government 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 error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Government is growing at roughly 10% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
