A retrieval engine that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at architecture principals, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Automated Contract Analyser for Architecture is a retrieval engine aimed at architecture principals, covering contract analysis. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (87) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$84k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$98k.
Architecture teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
