A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Aimed at wholesale sales teams, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Contract Analyser for Wholesale, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at wholesale sales leads, covering contract analysis. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (93) and held back by feasibility (36). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$96k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $43k–$134k.
Wholesale teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
