Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at mental health program directors, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Automated Competency Tracker for Mental health is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (86) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $800–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $39k–$115k.
Mental health teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical mental health operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
