An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes asset tracking. Aimed at franchising field supervisors, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Anomaly Asset Tracker for Franchising is an anomaly detector aimed at franchising field supervisors, covering asset tracking. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by timing (50). Typical pricing is $1.8k–$36k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$100k.
Franchising teams lose equipment located by asking around. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
An anomaly detector that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Franchising is growing at roughly 17% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
