Point a retrieval engine at document review, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at energy compliance leads, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Automated Document Reviewer for Energy is a retrieval engine aimed at energy compliance leads, covering document review. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by demand (45). Typical pricing is $5.2k–$78k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$79k.
Energy teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. Every energy team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Energy is growing at roughly 18% 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
