A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at fitness coaches, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Competency Tracker for Fitness Coaches is a retrieval engine aimed at fitness coachs, covering training & competency. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (86) and held back by moat (40). Typical pricing is $1.8k–$37k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$14k.
Fitness 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. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. Fitness is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
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.
