A narrow optimisation engine scoped to maintenance planning alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at healthcare practice owners, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Healthcare Maintenance Planner on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at healthcare practice owners, covering maintenance planning. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by open field (28). Typical pricing is $20k–$296k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$71k.
Healthcare teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. A typical healthcare operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Maintenance planning handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
| 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.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
