A narrow optimisation engine scoped to scheduling alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at security services field supervisors, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Scheduling for Security services Field Supervisors is an optimisation engine aimed at security services field supervisors, covering scheduling. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (30). Typical pricing is $12k–$179k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$106k.
Security services teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. In most security services businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point an optimisation engine at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, 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. Security services is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
