An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes maintenance planning. Aimed at healthcare practice owners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Healthcare Maintenance Planner is an optimisation engine aimed at healthcare practice owners, covering maintenance planning. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by open field (27). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$42k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$104k.
Healthcare teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes maintenance planning. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
