Inspection handled by a vision model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at architecture ops teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Architecture Inspection Assistant on Vision is a vision model aimed at architecture ops managers, covering inspection. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (89) and held back by feasibility (24). Typical pricing is $11k–$160k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$107k.
Architecture teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a vision model at inspection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Multimodal models now read a photo of a worksite without custom training. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
