A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes reporting & analytics. Aimed at construction estimators, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Reporting Layer for Construction, Run by Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at construction estimators, covering reporting & analytics. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (85) and held back by open field (55). Typical pricing is $2.7k–$48k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$45k.
Construction teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A reconciliation engine that handles reporting & analytics end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-project, 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
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.
