A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes route planning. Aimed at architecture ops teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Architecture Route Optimiser on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at architecture ops managers, covering route planning. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by feasibility (49). Typical pricing is $11k–$168k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$80k.
Architecture teams lose routes cut once a year and patched ever since. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A forecasting model that handles route planning end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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.
