A narrow forecasting model scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at solar project managers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Collections Chaser Built for Project Managers is a forecasting model aimed at solar project managers, covering collections. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by timing (33). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$90k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$121k.
Solar teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Solar is growing at roughly 24% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
