An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes dispatch. Aimed at legal ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Dispatch for Legal, Run by Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at legal ops managers, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (86) and held back by feasibility (34). Typical pricing is $5.6k–$84k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$120k.
Legal teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. 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.
Dispatch handled by an optimisation engine, 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.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
