A narrow forecasting model scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at security services ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Security services Competency Tracker is a forecasting model aimed at security services ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by feasibility (49). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$104k.
Security services teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a forecasting model at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. 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 |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
