A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Aimed at construction ops teams, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Classification-Powered Intake Triage for Ops Teams is a classifier aimed at construction ops managers, covering intake & triage. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (87) and held back by open field (44). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Construction teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 9 hours a week. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
