A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes proposal writing. Aimed at hospitality general managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Automated Proposal Builder for Hospitality is a retrieval engine aimed at hospitality general managers, covering proposal writing. It scores 83/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by timing (69). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Hospitality teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. Every hospitality team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Proposal writing handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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 |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
