A geospatial model that handles site selection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at trade schools program directors, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Geospatial Site Scorer for Trade schools is a geospatial model aimed at trade schools program directors, covering site selection. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (95) and held back by monetisation (32). Typical pricing is $900–$17k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$37k.
Trade schools teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a geospatial model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
