Point a retrieval engine at claims & appeals, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at franchising field supervisors, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Appeal Drafter for Franchising Field Supervisors is a retrieval engine aimed at franchising field supervisors, covering claims & appeals. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$90k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$85k.
Franchising teams lose denials abandoned because appealing costs more than the claim. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes claims & appeals. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
