A classifier that handles intake & triage end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Legal Intake Triage on Classification is a classifier aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering intake & triage. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by timing (28). Typical pricing is $5.2k–$111k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$8.0k.
Legal teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 6 hours a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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 |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| 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 |
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.
