Point a forecasting model at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Competency Tracker for Mental health, Run by Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $5.1k–$108k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$88k.
Mental health teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most mental health businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Training & competency handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|

| 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 |
