A classifier that handles customer support end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at telecom ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Telecom Support Agent is a classifier aimed at telecom ops managers, covering customer support. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by open field (49). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$92k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$42k.
Telecom teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. 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 a classifier at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
