Point an anomaly detector at vendor management, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Construction Vendor Monitor on Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at construction ops managers, covering vendor management. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by feasibility (37). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$83k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$107k.
Construction teams lose vendor performance measured only when something breaks. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
