A narrow forecasting model scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality owner-operators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Competency Tracker for Hospitality, Run by Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at hospitality owner-operators, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $11k–$166k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $43k–$109k.
Hospitality teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical hospitality operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, 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. Hospitality is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
| 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.
