Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at mental health clinic admins, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Automated Risk Scorer for Mental health is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health clinic admins, covering risk assessment. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by open field (46). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$17k.
Mental health teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every mental health team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
