A narrow classifier scoped to intake & triage alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at veterinary office managers, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Veterinary Intake Triage is a classifier aimed at veterinary office managers, covering intake & triage. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (91) and held back by moat (38). Typical pricing is $4.9k–$104k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Veterinary teams lose the front-desk queue that swallows 14 hours a week. Every veterinary team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a classifier at intake & triage, 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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% 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 |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
