Scheduling handled by an autonomous agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.

It scores 83/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $11k–$167k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$88k.
Construction teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Scheduling handled by an autonomous agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
