An optimisation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes site selection. Aimed at waste management ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Waste management Site Scorer is an optimisation engine aimed at waste management ops managers, covering site selection. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (54). Typical pricing is $1.8k–$36k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$128k.
Waste management teams lose location decisions made on instinct and a drive-by. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Site selection handled by an optimisation engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Waste management is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
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.
→ AltF IdeaLabAsk how they handle this today and what it costs them. If nobody can quantify the pain, the demand score is optimistic.
→ Survey BuilderCheck availability, DNS, and email authentication in one pass so your first outreach lands in an inbox.
→ AltF DomainOpsStand up intake, the review queue, and billing before you build the clever part.
