Knowledge capture handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at childcare program directors, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Childcare Knowledge Base is a retrieval engine aimed at childcare program directors, covering knowledge capture. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by feasibility (52). Typical pricing is $9.3k–$139k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$154k.
Childcare teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes knowledge capture. Revenue is managed service, 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. Childcare is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
