A narrow workflow engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety department heads, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Workflow-Powered Competency Tracker for Department Heads is a workflow engine aimed at public safety department heads, covering training & competency. It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (97) and held back by timing (37). Typical pricing is $11k–$158k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Public safety teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Training & competency handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, 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. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
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.
