Point a retrieval engine at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at waste management route planners, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Contract Analyser for Waste management Route Planners is a retrieval engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering contract analysis. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by demand (50). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$92k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$20k.
Waste management teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Every waste management team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Contract analysis handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
