Point a forecasting model at dispatch, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at public safety ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Public safety Dispatch on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at public safety ops managers, covering dispatch. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (83) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$82k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $27k–$76k.
Public safety teams lose routing decisions made from memory at 6am. Every public safety team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A forecasting model that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes dispatch. 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 |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
