A narrow retrieval engine scoped to document review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Document Reviewer for Last-mile delivery, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at last-mile delivery dispatchers, covering document review. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by open field (32). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$47k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$124k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Last-mile delivery is growing at roughly 21% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
