A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reconciliation alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at travel ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Travel Reconciler is a reconciliation engine aimed at travel ops managers, covering reconciliation. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by open field (27). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$101k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$12k.
Travel 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 backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A reconciliation engine that handles reconciliation end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
