Compliance audit handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at real estate owner-operators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.

It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (26). Typical pricing is $12k–$176k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$41k.
Real estate teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. In most real estate businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to compliance audit alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
