A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes warranty & returns. Aimed at government ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Classification Warranty Handler for Government is a classifier aimed at government ops managers, covering warranty & returns. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by timing (56). Typical pricing is $9.5k–$95k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Government teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a classifier at warranty & returns, 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.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
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.
