A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at hospitality ops teams, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at hospitality ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by feasibility (46). Typical pricing is $1.9k–$38k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$106k.
Hospitality teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every hospitality team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. 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. Hospitality is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
