Maintenance planning handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Mental health Maintenance Planner on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering maintenance planning. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by feasibility (24). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$45k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$105k.
Mental health teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point an optimisation engine at maintenance planning, 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.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
