A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at landscaping field supervisors, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Landscaping is a retrieval engine aimed at landscaping field supervisors, covering risk assessment. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (85) and held back by moat (63). Typical pricing is $700–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$17k.
Landscaping teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
