Site selection handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at lending underwriters, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Lending Site Scorer on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at lending underwriters, covering site selection. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by timing (41). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$48k.
Lending teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point an optimisation engine at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Lending is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
