An optimisation engine that handles site selection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at veterinary practice owners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Automated Site Scorer for Veterinary is an optimisation engine aimed at veterinary practice owners, covering site selection. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by feasibility (21). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$59k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$74k.
Veterinary teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
