Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at facilities ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at facilities ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 82/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by feasibility (68). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$49k.
Facilities teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every facilities 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 training & competency 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. Facilities is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
