Point an anomaly detector at vendor management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at recruiting recruiters, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Automated Vendor Monitor for Recruiting is an anomaly detector aimed at recruiting recruiters, covering vendor management. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (89) and held back by open field (29). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$10k.
Recruiting teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. A typical recruiting operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Vendor management handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Recruiting is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
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.
