Reconciliation handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.

It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (83) and held back by open field (35).

Legal teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
An anomaly detector that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
