A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at recruiting agency owners, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Automated Competency Tracker for Recruiting is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting agency owners, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (90) and held back by open field (31). Typical pricing is $800–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Recruiting teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is flat saas, 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. Recruiting 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
