A retrieval engine that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at recruiting agency owners, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Contract Analyser for Recruiting, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting agency owners, covering contract analysis. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by open field (24). Typical pricing is $800–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$19k.
Recruiting teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. 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 flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
