A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at dental practice owners, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Dental Intake Triage is a classifier aimed at dental practice owners, covering intake & triage. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by moat (24). Typical pricing is $12k–$180k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$5.0k.
Dental teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 16 hours a week. A typical dental operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Dental is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| 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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
→ AltF IdeaLabAsk how they handle this today and what it costs them. If nobody can quantify the pain, the demand score is optimistic.
→ Survey BuilderCheck availability, DNS, and email authentication in one pass so your first outreach lands in an inbox.
→ AltF DomainOpsStand up intake, the review queue, and billing before you build the clever part.
