A classifier that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes warranty & returns. Aimed at solar ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Warranty Handler for Solar Ops Teams is a classifier aimed at solar ops managers, covering warranty & returns. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by timing (43). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$89k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$41k.
Solar teams lose warranty claims processed on a spreadsheet and a hope. A typical solar operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow classifier scoped to warranty & returns alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
