A narrow forecasting model scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality general managers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Risk Scorer for Hospitality General Managers is a forecasting model aimed at hospitality general managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $9.0k–$135k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$98k.
Hospitality teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most hospitality businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Risk assessment handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
