An anomaly detector that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at wholesale sales teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Wholesale Risk Scorer is an anomaly detector aimed at wholesale sales leads, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (83) and held back by feasibility (31). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$71k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$114k.
Wholesale teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
| Total addressable market | $389M |
|---|---|
| Category growth (CAGR) | 9% |
| Annual contract value | $4.7k – $71k |
| Pricing model | Data subscription |
| Time to first revenue | 60 days |
| Startup cost to MVP | $35k – $114k |
| Build effort | 6-12 months |
Streaming detection became practical without a dedicated data platform. Wholesale is growing at roughly 11% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
