A forecasting model that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health program directors, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Forecasting Collections Chaser for Mental health is a forecasting model aimed at mental health program directors, covering collections. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by feasibility (32). Typical pricing is $3.7k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$144k.
Mental health teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. In most mental health businesses this job has never had software written for it. 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 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
