A narrow forecasting model scoped to route planning alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Forecasting Route Optimiser for Legal is a forecasting model aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering route planning. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $3.5k–$93k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $43k–$123k.
Legal teams lose routes cut once a year and patched ever since. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes route planning. Revenue is per-vehicle, 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. Legal is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
