A workflow engine that handles onboarding end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, proving value before anyone signs anything.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (94) and held back by timing (38).

Utilities teams lose a 40-step checklist living in one person’s head. In most utilities businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes onboarding. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
