An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes quality control. Aimed at aviation ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Aviation Quality Inspector on Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at aviation ops managers, covering quality control. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by demand (40). Typical pricing is $6.7k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$20k.
Aviation teams lose defects caught by the customer instead of the line. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point an anomaly detector at quality control, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is site licence, 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. Aviation is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
