It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (95) and held back by feasibility (42).

Manufacturing teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Every manufacturing team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A vision model that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Multimodal models now read a photo of a worksite without custom training. Manufacturing is growing at roughly 16% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
