A retrieval engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at dental clinic admins, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Dental Grant Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at dental clinic admins, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (92) and held back by open field (27). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$114k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$100k.
Dental teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a retrieval engine at grant & funding tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
