A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Aimed at facilities maintenance leads, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Facilities Collections Chaser is a forecasting model aimed at facilities maintenance leads, covering collections. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by timing (49). Typical pricing is $1.8k–$36k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$50k.
Facilities teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Every facilities team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a forecasting model at collections, 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.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Facilities is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
