A narrow forecasting model scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction owner-operators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Forecasting Collections Chaser for Construction is a forecasting model aimed at construction owner-operators, covering collections. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by feasibility (49). Typical pricing is $11k–$159k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$84k.
Construction teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a forecasting model at collections, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
