A vision model that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction estimators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Asset Tracker for Construction Estimators is a vision model aimed at construction estimators, covering asset tracking. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (83) and held back by feasibility (45).

Construction teams lose equipment located by asking around. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.

Multimodal models now read a photo of a worksite without custom training. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
