A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at franchising franchisees, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Automated Site Scorer for Franchising is a geospatial model aimed at franchising franchisees, covering site selection. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $4.6k–$98k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$99k.
Franchising teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Site selection handled by a geospatial model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
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.
→ AltF IdeaLabAsk how they handle this today and what it costs them. If nobody can quantify the pain, the demand score is optimistic.
→ Survey BuilderCheck availability, DNS, and email authentication in one pass so your first outreach lands in an inbox.
→ AltF DomainOpsStand up intake, the review queue, and billing before you build the clever part.
