Point a retrieval engine at grant & funding tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Automated Grant Tracker for Last-mile delivery is a retrieval engine aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by open field (40). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$86k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$33k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. A typical last-mile delivery operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% 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 |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
