A geospatial model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at trade schools program directors, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Geospatial Site Scorer for Trade schools is a geospatial model aimed at trade schools program directors, covering site selection. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by monetisation (56). Typical pricing is $800–$15k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$36k.
Trade schools teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. A typical trade schools operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow geospatial model scoped to site selection alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
