A retrieval engine that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Automated Contract Analyser for Legal is a retrieval engine aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering contract analysis. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by feasibility (49). Typical pricing is $5.2k–$112k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$68k.
Legal teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
