An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inventory planning. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Mental health Inventory Planner is an anomaly detector aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering inventory planning. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (87) and held back by demand (51). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $3.0k–$8.0k.
Mental health teams lose stockouts on the fast movers and cash tied up in the slow ones. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point an anomaly detector at inventory planning, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
