A vision model that handles inspection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at veterinary technicians, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Inspection Assistant Built for Technicians is a vision model aimed at veterinary technicians, covering inspection. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (95) and held back by feasibility (70). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$40k.
Veterinary teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. A typical veterinary operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a vision model at inspection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Multimodal models now read a photo of a worksite without custom training. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
