Point a forecasting model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at legal ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Legal Site Scorer on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at legal ops managers, covering site selection. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (24). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$68k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$91k.
Legal teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to site selection alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, 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. 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
