Point a vision model at inspection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at wholesale ops teams, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Inspection Assistant for Wholesale Ops Teams is a vision model aimed at wholesale ops managers, covering inspection. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (89) and held back by feasibility (52). Typical pricing is $11k–$171k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$94k.
Wholesale teams lose inspections written up twice — once on paper, once at night. Every wholesale team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A vision model that handles inspection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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 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 |
