Inspection handled by a vision model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at agriculture agronomists, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Inspection Assistant for Agriculture Agronomists is a vision model aimed at agriculture agronomists, covering inspection. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (95) and held back by demand (63). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$49k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$18k.
Agriculture teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. A typical agriculture operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A vision model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inspection. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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.
