A narrow workflow engine scoped to shift handover alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at professional services ops teams, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Workflow Handover Recorder for Professional services is a workflow engine aimed at professional services ops managers, covering shift handover. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by open field (38). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Professional services teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. Every professional services team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes shift handover. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Professional services is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
