An optimisation engine that handles route planning end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at veterinary technicians, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Veterinary Route Optimiser on Optimisation is an optimisation engine aimed at veterinary technicians, covering route planning. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (23). Typical pricing is $3.5k–$93k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$124k.
Veterinary teams lose routes cut once a year and patched ever since. Every veterinary team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Route planning handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-vehicle, 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
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.
