It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by feasibility (34).

Property management teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A forecasting model that handles scheduling end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
