Risk assessment handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Construction Risk Scorer is an anomaly detector aimed at construction ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (90) and held back by timing (39). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Construction teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point an anomaly detector at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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.
