A narrow workflow engine scoped to onboarding alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at veterinary practice owners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Veterinary Onboarding Flow is a workflow engine aimed at veterinary practice owners, covering onboarding. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by moat (43). Typical pricing is $3.6k–$77k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Veterinary teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a workflow engine at onboarding, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
