A narrow forecasting model scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at public safety department heads, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Public safety Risk Scorer on Forecasting is a forecasting model aimed at public safety department heads, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by feasibility (36). Typical pricing is $3.8k–$57k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$110k.
Public safety teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Risk assessment handled by a forecasting model, 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.

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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
