It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by demand (43). Typical pricing is $3.3k–$65k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$52k.
Government teams lose a monthly report rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
