A forecasting model that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at public safety ops teams, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Forecasting Competency Tracker for Public safety is a forecasting model aimed at public safety ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $2.2k–$45k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$86k.
Public safety teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to training & competency 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
