A workflow engine that handles renewal management end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Renewal Manager for Life sciences Lab Managers is a workflow engine aimed at life sciences lab managers, covering renewal management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by timing (53). Typical pricing is $7.4k–$149k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$123k.
Life sciences teams lose renewals that lapse because a date sat in a spreadsheet. Every life sciences team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes renewal management. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
