An optimisation engine that handles maintenance planning end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at insurance claims teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Maintenance Planner for Insurance, Run by Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at insurance claims leads, covering maintenance planning. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by monetisation (42). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$12k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $33k–$98k.
Insurance teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point an optimisation engine at maintenance planning, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, 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. Insurance is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
