An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at telecom field supervisors, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Telecom Risk Scorer is an anomaly detector aimed at telecom field supervisors, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (81) and held back by open field (49). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$17k.
Telecom teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Telecom is growing at roughly 11% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
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.
