An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at lending loan officers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Risk Scorer for Lending, Run by Anomaly is an anomaly detector aimed at lending loan officers, covering risk assessment. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (88) and held back by timing (66). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$79k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$37k.
Lending teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every lending team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point an anomaly detector at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Lending is growing at roughly 12% 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 vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
