An anomaly detector that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at auto repair service managers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Risk Scorer for Auto repair Service Managers is an anomaly detector aimed at auto repair service managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by moat (55). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$32k.
Auto repair teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical auto repair operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Auto repair is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
