Reporting & analytics handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Reporting Layer for Construction, Run by Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at construction estimators, covering reporting & analytics. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$50k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$76k.
Construction teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reporting & analytics. Revenue is per-project, 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| 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 |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
