Site selection handled by a geospatial model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at retail store managers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Geospatial Site Scorer for Retail is a geospatial model aimed at retail store managers, covering site selection. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by feasibility (30). Typical pricing is $2.7k–$54k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$81k.
Retail teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. Every retail team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
