An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at mental health program directors, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Mental health is an anomaly detector aimed at mental health program directors, covering risk assessment. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by monetisation (64). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$16k.
Mental health teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Risk assessment handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
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.
