Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at waste management route planners, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Route Planners is a retrieval engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by open field (39). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$47k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Waste management teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. 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. Waste management is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
