Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Competency Tracker for Mental health, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by monetisation (27). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Mental health teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every mental health team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
