A narrow anomaly detector scoped to vendor management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at legal partners, writing down what only one person knows.

It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by monetisation (36). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$48k.
Legal teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to vendor management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| 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 |
