An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes maintenance planning. Aimed at property management property managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Maintenance Planner Built for Property Managers is an optimisation engine aimed at property management property managers, covering maintenance planning. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (30). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$91k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$122k.
Property management teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
An optimisation engine that handles maintenance planning end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Property management 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
