Shift handover handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at industrial services field supervisors, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (92) and held back by timing (31).

Industrial services teams lose a whiteboard that loses half of what the last crew knew. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
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.

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
