Scheduling handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at logistics warehouse teams, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Scheduling for Logistics, Run by Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at logistics warehouse leads, covering scheduling. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by timing (28). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$42k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$123k.
Logistics teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point an optimisation engine at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Solver capacity that once needed a research budget now runs on commodity hardware. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
