A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (93) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $900–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$95k.
Mental health teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
