An autonomous agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Aimed at energy ops teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Energy Lead Qualifier is an autonomous agent aimed at energy ops managers, covering lead qualification. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (91) and held back by demand (50). Typical pricing is $2.9k–$58k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$38k.
Energy teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. In most energy businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point an autonomous agent at lead qualification, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
