A narrow retrieval engine scoped to claims & appeals alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Automated Appeal Drafter for Hospitality is a retrieval engine aimed at hospitality ops managers, covering claims & appeals. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by open field (52). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$87k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$27k.
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. 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 per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
