Intake & triage handled by a classifier, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at architecture project architects, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Intake Triage for Architecture Project Architects is a classifier aimed at architecture project architects, covering intake & triage. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (92) and held back by timing (32). Typical pricing is $900–$18k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Architecture teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 11 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 handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
