Point a reconciliation engine at margin monitoring, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at wholesale sales teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Wholesale Margin Watch on Reconciliation is a reconciliation engine aimed at wholesale sales leads, covering margin monitoring. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by timing (35). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$93k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$31k.
Wholesale teams lose discovering a product went underwater a quarter late. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Margin monitoring handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Systems that never talked now expose APIs by default. Wholesale is growing at roughly 11% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
