A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at legal partners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Intake Triage Built for Partners is a classifier aimed at legal partners, covering intake & triage. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by timing (37). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$92k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$22k.
Legal teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 9 hours a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes intake & triage. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
→ AltF IdeaLabAsk how they handle this today and what it costs them. If nobody can quantify the pain, the demand score is optimistic.
→ Survey BuilderCheck availability, DNS, and email authentication in one pass so your first outreach lands in an inbox.
→ AltF DomainOpsStand up intake, the review queue, and billing before you build the clever part.
