A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Automated Site Scorer for Life sciences is a geospatial model aimed at life sciences lab managers, covering site selection. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (89) and held back by feasibility (23). Typical pricing is $6.8k–$103k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$102k.
Life sciences teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. A typical life sciences operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A geospatial model that handles site selection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Satellite and census-linked data became licensable at startup prices. 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
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.
