Dispatch handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at public safety department heads, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Public safety Dispatch is a forecasting model aimed at public safety department heads, covering dispatch. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$101k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$73k.
Public safety teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to dispatch 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.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Public safety 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| 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.
