Point an optimisation engine at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at mental health clinic admins, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Mental health Scheduling on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at mental health clinic admins, covering scheduling. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $11k–$165k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$105k.
Mental health teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. In most mental health businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Scheduling handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
