A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Lead Qualifier Built for Solo Practitioners is a classifier aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering lead qualification. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by open field (39). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Legal teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a classifier at lead qualification, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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 |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
