A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Contract Analyser Built for Paralegal Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering contract analysis. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by open field (39). Typical pricing is $5.2k–$112k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$73k.
Legal teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Legal is growing at roughly 12% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
