A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at agriculture agronomists, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Agriculture Risk Scorer is a forecasting model aimed at agriculture agronomists, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by feasibility (29). Typical pricing is $5.1k–$76k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$140k.
Agriculture teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every agriculture team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Agriculture is growing at roughly 22% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
