A narrow optimisation engine scoped to scheduling alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at life sciences compliance leads, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Automated Scheduling for Life sciences is an optimisation engine aimed at life sciences compliance leads, covering scheduling. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (25). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$56k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$130k.
Life sciences teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point an optimisation engine at scheduling, 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.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
