Site selection handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Automated Site Scorer for Last-mile delivery is an optimisation engine aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering site selection. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$76k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$143k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. 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.
An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
