A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Competency Tracker Built for Solo Practitioners is a retrieval engine aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering training & competency. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by feasibility (45). Typical pricing is $11k–$160k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$102k.
Legal teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
