Site selection handled by a geospatial model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at industrial services owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Industrial services Site Scorer is a geospatial model aimed at industrial services owner-operators, covering site selection. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (28). Typical pricing is $9.7k–$146k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$121k.
Industrial services teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a geospatial model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
