Point a forecasting model at demand forecasting, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at veterinary technicians, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Demand Forecaster for Veterinary, Run by Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at veterinary technicians, covering demand forecasting. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by feasibility (27). Typical pricing is $3.7k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$80k.
Veterinary teams lose next month planned from last month with a gut adjustment. In most veterinary businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to demand forecasting alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
