Site selection handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Life sciences Site Scorer on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at life sciences lab managers, covering site selection. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by feasibility (30). Typical pricing is $17k–$259k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$82k.
Life sciences teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a forecasting model at site selection, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, 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. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
