Site selection handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at salons & spas office managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Forecasting-Powered Site Scorer for Office Managers is a forecasting model aimed at salons & spas office managers, covering site selection. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (48). Typical pricing is $2.9k–$62k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$101k.
Salons & spas teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. Every salons & spas team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Site selection handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
