An anomaly detector that handles quality control end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at public safety department heads, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Public safety Quality Inspector is an anomaly detector aimed at public safety department heads, covering quality control. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (94) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $3.6k–$54k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$142k.
Public safety teams lose defects caught by the customer instead of the line. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Quality control handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. 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 |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
