A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at architecture project architects, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Automated Competency Tracker for Architecture is a retrieval engine aimed at architecture project architects, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by feasibility (53). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$77k.
Architecture teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Training & competency 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.

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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
