A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at e-commerce marketing leads, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for E-commerce is a retrieval engine aimed at e-commerce marketing leads, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by open field (24). Typical pricing is $5.9k–$125k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$34k.
E-commerce teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. 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.
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.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. E-commerce is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
