A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Construction is a retrieval engine aimed at construction project managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 84/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by timing (67). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$101k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$34k.
Construction teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
