A narrow workflow engine scoped to incident reporting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety department heads, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Workflow-Powered Incident Recorder for Department Heads is a workflow engine aimed at public safety department heads, covering incident reporting. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by timing (47). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$91k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Public safety teams lose incidents written up days later from memory. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Incident reporting handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
