Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at freight brokerage dispatchers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Freight brokerage is a retrieval engine aimed at freight brokerage dispatchers, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by monetisation (35). Typical pricing is $2.1k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$20k.
Freight brokerage teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every freight brokerage team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Freight brokerage is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
