Scheduling handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at agriculture growers, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Optimisation Scheduling for Agriculture is an optimisation engine aimed at agriculture growers, covering scheduling. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (84) and held back by feasibility (34). Typical pricing is $5.1k–$108k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$113k.
Agriculture teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow optimisation engine scoped to scheduling alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Agriculture 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
