A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (90) and held back by timing (35).

Mental health teams lose a pipeline where nobody knows which half is real. Every mental health team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes lead qualification. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
