A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at logistics dispatchers, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Competency Tracker for Logistics Dispatchers is a retrieval engine aimed at logistics dispatchers, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by open field (37). Typical pricing is $12k–$181k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$99k.
Logistics 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 error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
