A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reporting & analytics alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at dental clinic admins, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Reporting Layer for Dental, Run by Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at dental clinic admins, covering reporting & analytics. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by timing (25). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$114k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$14k.
Dental teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a reconciliation engine at reporting & analytics, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |

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.
