A narrow anomaly detector scoped to asset tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at professional services ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Asset Tracker for Professional services, Run by Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at professional services ops managers, covering asset tracking. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (42). Typical pricing is $5.1k–$108k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$46k.
Professional services teams lose equipment located by asking around. 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 an anomaly detector at asset tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Professional services is growing at roughly 13% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
