Inspection handled by a vision model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at architecture principals, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Inspection Assistant for Architecture, Run by Vision is a vision model aimed at architecture principals, covering inspection. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (95) and held back by feasibility (42). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$116k.
Architecture teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. In most architecture businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a vision model at inspection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
