An anomaly detector that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at maritime surveyors, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Risk Scorer for Maritime Surveyors is an anomaly detector aimed at maritime surveyors, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (84) and held back by demand (52). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$39k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$14k.
Maritime teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical maritime operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Maritime is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
→ AltF IdeaLabAsk how they handle this today and what it costs them. If nobody can quantify the pain, the demand score is optimistic.
→ Survey BuilderCheck availability, DNS, and email authentication in one pass so your first outreach lands in an inbox.
→ AltF DomainOpsStand up intake, the review queue, and billing before you build the clever part.
