A forecasting model that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at public safety department heads, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Forecasting Collections Chaser for Public safety is a forecasting model aimed at public safety department heads, covering collections. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by feasibility (62). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$33k.
Public safety teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. A typical public safety operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to collections alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Public safety 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
