Point a workflow engine at collections, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at dental practice owners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Workflow-Powered Collections Chaser for Practice Owners is a workflow engine aimed at dental practice owners, covering collections. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by timing (26). Typical pricing is $7.4k–$149k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$40k.
Dental teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
