A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reconciliation. Aimed at legal partners, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Reconciler for Legal, Run by Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at legal partners, covering reconciliation. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by timing (55). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$37k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$15k.
Legal teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. 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 narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-matter, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Systems that never talked now expose APIs by default. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
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.
