A geospatial model that handles site selection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at retail merchandisers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Retail Site Scorer on Geospatial is a geospatial model aimed at retail merchandisers, covering site selection. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by open field (32). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$49k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$83k.
Retail teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. A typical retail operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Site selection handled by a geospatial model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
