A retrieval engine that handles document review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at public safety department heads, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Automated Document Reviewer for Public safety is a retrieval engine aimed at public safety department heads, covering document review. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by monetisation (33). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$11k.
Public safety teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. 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 document review. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
