Claims & appeals handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at architecture ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Appeal Drafter for Architecture, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at architecture ops managers, covering claims & appeals. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (93) and held back by monetisation (69). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Architecture teams lose denials abandoned because appealing costs more than the claim. In most architecture businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a retrieval engine at claims & appeals, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 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.
