An anomaly detector that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at franchising franchisees, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Franchising is an anomaly detector aimed at franchising franchisees, covering risk assessment. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by timing (39). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$42k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$18k.
Franchising teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point an anomaly detector at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Franchising is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
