A retrieval engine that handles document review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at recruiting agency owners, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Document Reviewer for Recruiting Agency Owners is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting agency owners, covering document review. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (86) and held back by open field (45). Typical pricing is $13k–$197k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$30k.
Recruiting 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. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
