A long-context reviewer that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at energy asset managers, unbundling the one module people actually use.

It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (96) and held back by feasibility (26).

Energy teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
RFP response handled by a long-context reviewer, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
