A narrow forecasting model scoped to dispatch alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at government compliance leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Dispatch for Government Compliance Leads is a forecasting model aimed at government compliance leads, covering dispatch. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by feasibility (46). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$119k.
Government teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. In most government businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Dispatch handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
