Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at energy ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Competency Tracker for Energy Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at energy ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (55). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$114k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$43k.
Energy teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every energy team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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 |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
