A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at logistics fleet owners, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Logistics Competency Tracker on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at logistics fleet owners, covering training & competency. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (85) and held back by open field (55). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$49k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$14k.
Logistics teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical logistics operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a forecasting model at training & competency, 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.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
