A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at childcare office managers, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Childcare Site Scorer is a geospatial model aimed at childcare office managers, covering site selection. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (91) and held back by feasibility (42). Typical pricing is $1.6k–$31k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$81k.
Childcare teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. A typical childcare operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a geospatial model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Childcare is growing at roughly 17% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
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.
