A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Aimed at construction ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Vendor Monitor for Construction, Run by Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at construction ops managers, covering vendor management. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by open field (47). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$59k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$16k.
Construction teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to vendor management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-project, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
