Point a classifier at lead qualification, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at accounting partners, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Classification Lead Qualifier for Accounting is a classifier aimed at accounting partners, covering lead qualification. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (95) and held back by timing (44). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Accounting teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. A typical accounting operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Accounting is growing at roughly 11% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
