An optimisation engine that handles dispatch end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at energy asset managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Dispatch Built for Asset Managers is an optimisation engine aimed at energy asset managers, covering dispatch. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by feasibility (23). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$90k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$101k.
Energy teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point an optimisation engine at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
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.
