A narrow retrieval engine scoped to compliance audit alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at agriculture co-op managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Compliance Auditor for Agriculture, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at agriculture co-op managers, covering compliance audit. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$97k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$88k.
Agriculture teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. In most agriculture businesses this job has never had software written for it. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles compliance audit 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. Agriculture 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
