Risk assessment handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Risk Scorer for Construction, Run by Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at construction estimators, covering risk assessment. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by open field (60). Typical pricing is $800–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$42k.
Construction 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. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point an anomaly detector at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
