Route planning handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at agriculture agronomists, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Agriculture Route Optimiser is a forecasting model aimed at agriculture agronomists, covering route planning. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (44). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$64k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$89k.
Agriculture teams lose routes cut once a year and patched ever since. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A forecasting model that handles route planning end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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 |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
