A narrow optimisation engine scoped to maintenance planning alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at dental clinic admins, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Optimisation-Powered Maintenance Planner for Clinic Admins is an optimisation engine aimed at dental clinic admins, covering maintenance planning. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by feasibility (25). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$106k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$83k.
Dental teams lose maintenance done on a calendar rather than on condition. Every dental team solves this the same way: someone stays late. 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 per-outcome, 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. Dental is growing at roughly 14% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
