Vendor management handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at public safety compliance leads, built for one person, not a department.

It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $3.4k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$89k.
Public safety teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. A typical public safety operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
