A narrow workflow engine scoped to vendor management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Vendor Monitor for Construction Project Managers is a workflow engine aimed at construction project managers, covering vendor management. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by timing (24). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$72k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Construction teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Connectors exist for systems that were closed five years ago. 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
