Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at education department heads, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Competency Tracker for Education, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at education department heads, covering training & competency. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by feasibility (42). Typical pricing is $13k–$192k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$84k.
Education teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. 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. Education is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
