The problems with your idea is it really doesn't serve the larger purpose especially with more modern cards. I really don't need to know that my 1987 Barry Bonds is really and not altered.
From a business point of view what you describe would only be useful on a very small portion of the card population and therefore would be the death of the business. Ie is would be a poor business model and they would lose a ton of money.
There could be a compromise service in which they could just provide an authentication service and slab the card. It wouldn't be graded with a number but under the terms you have listed. That being said I am not sure this could be done cheaper then the current grading so what would be the point.
As I stated eariler I think more information on the flip is needed especially for altered cards.
