Point an optimisation engine at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$103k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$73k.
Veterinary teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. A typical veterinary operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Site selection handled by an optimisation engine, 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.

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 |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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.
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.
