Site selection handled by a geospatial model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at equipment rental ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Equipment rental Site Scorer is a geospatial model aimed at equipment rental ops managers, covering site selection. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (39). Typical pricing is $3.4k–$73k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$144k.
Equipment rental teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
