A retrieval engine that handles claims & appeals end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at lending underwriters, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Appeal Drafter Built for Underwriters is a retrieval engine aimed at lending underwriters, covering claims & appeals. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $2.7k–$55k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$22k.
Lending teams lose denials abandoned because appealing costs more than the claim. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Claims & appeals handled by a retrieval 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.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
