A narrow classifier scoped to lead qualification alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Automated Lead Qualifier for Construction is a classifier aimed at construction owner-operators, covering lead qualification. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (86) and held back by timing (43). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$63k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$15k.
Construction teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow classifier scoped to lead qualification alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
