A narrow forecasting model scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at veterinary technicians, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Collections Chaser for Veterinary, Run by Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at veterinary technicians, covering collections. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $11k–$165k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$84k.
Veterinary teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Every veterinary team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.

| Who | The gap |

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
