Dispatch handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at logistics ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Optimisation Dispatch for Logistics is an optimisation engine aimed at logistics ops managers, covering dispatch. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $12k–$178k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$75k.
Logistics teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. 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 dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
