A forecasting model that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at home care agency owners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Home care Collections Chaser on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at home care agency owners, covering collections. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (94) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $6.4k–$128k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$131k.
Home care teams lose receivables aging past 90 days because nobody chased. In most home care businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Revenue is take-rate, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
