A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Forecasting Pricing Engine for Legal is a forecasting model aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering pricing. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (86) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $5.4k–$80k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$83k.
Legal teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that handles pricing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
