An anomaly detector that handles demand forecasting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at healthcare practice owners, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by open field (43). Typical pricing is $8.6k–$129k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$94k.
Healthcare teams lose next month planned from last month with a gut adjustment. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
