A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Aimed at legal partners, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Intake Triage Built for Partners is a classifier aimed at legal partners, covering intake & triage. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by open field (40). Typical pricing is $11k–$159k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Legal teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 18 hours a week. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
