Dispatch handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at veterinary technicians, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Dispatch for Veterinary, Run by Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at veterinary technicians, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (88) and held back by feasibility (29). Typical pricing is $8.9k–$134k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$94k.
Veterinary teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A forecasting model that handles dispatch end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, 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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
