Reconciliation handled by a reconciliation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at wholesale ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Wholesale Reconciler is a reconciliation engine aimed at wholesale ops managers, covering reconciliation. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (86) and held back by monetisation (31). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Wholesale teams lose two ledgers that never agree and nobody can say why. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow reconciliation engine scoped to reconciliation 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.

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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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.
