An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes pricing. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Pricing Engine for Logistics Dispatchers is an optimisation engine aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering pricing. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (29). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$87k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$97k.
Logistics 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 error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Pricing handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
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.
