A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at home care compliance leads, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Automated Site Scorer for Home care is a forecasting model aimed at home care compliance leads, covering site selection. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (43). Typical pricing is $1.3k–$27k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$137k.
Home care teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. In most home care businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a forecasting model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Home care is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
