A classifier that handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at accounting ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Accounting Intake Triage on Classification is a classifier aimed at accounting ops managers, covering intake & triage. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$45k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$20k.
Accounting teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 17 hours a week. Every accounting team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A classifier that handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-matter, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Accounting is growing at roughly 11% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
