A forecasting model that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Paralegal Teams is a forecasting model aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering training & competency. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$99k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$93k.
Legal teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical legal operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Training & competency handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Forecasting that used to need a data team now runs on off-the-shelf models. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
