A narrow retrieval engine scoped to claims & appeals alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality owner-operators, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Appeal Drafter for Hospitality Owner-Operators is a retrieval engine aimed at hospitality owner-operators, covering claims & appeals. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by open field (28). Typical pricing is $4.6k–$69k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$42k.
Hospitality 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. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Claims & appeals handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Hospitality is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
