Point a retrieval engine at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at wholesale inventory planners, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Contract Analyser for Wholesale Inventory Planners is a retrieval engine aimed at wholesale inventory planners, covering contract analysis. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by feasibility (34). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$58k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$85k.
Wholesale teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. A typical wholesale operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Contract analysis handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Wholesale is growing at roughly 11% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
