A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at dental practice owners, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Dental Grant Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at dental practice owners, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (87) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $14k–$205k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $35k–$103k.
Dental teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. A typical dental operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, 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. Dental is growing at roughly 14% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
