A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Aimed at construction owner-operators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Automated Lead Qualifier for Construction is a forecasting model aimed at construction owner-operators, covering lead qualification. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $4.9k–$105k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$82k.
Construction teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a forecasting model at lead qualification, 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.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
