A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Aimed at childcare office managers, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Contract Analyser for Childcare, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at childcare office managers, covering contract analysis. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by feasibility (54). Typical pricing is $11k–$167k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$103k.
Childcare teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis 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. Childcare is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
