Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at security services schedulers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Automated Competency Tracker for Security services is a retrieval engine aimed at security services schedulers, covering training & competency. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by timing (67). Typical pricing is $2.4k–$48k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$17k.
Security services teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. 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. Security services is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
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.
