Point a workflow engine at vendor management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at government ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Vendor Monitor for Government, Run by Workflow is a workflow engine aimed at government ops managers, covering vendor management. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by timing (31). Typical pricing is $5.7k–$121k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Government teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A workflow engine that handles vendor management 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
