Point an optimisation engine at maintenance planning, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at architecture ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Architecture Maintenance Planner on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at architecture ops managers, covering maintenance planning. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$84k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$97k.
Architecture teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. In most architecture businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Maintenance planning handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
