It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (84) and held back by feasibility (51).

Mental health teams lose stockouts on the fast movers and cash tied up in the slow ones. In most mental health businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Inventory planning handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
