Point a forecasting model at pricing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at lending loan officers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Pricing Engine for Lending Loan Officers is a forecasting model aimed at lending loan officers, covering pricing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (22). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$85k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$87k.
Lending teams lose a price list last revised when costs were 30% lower. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Lending is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
