Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at education ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Education Competency Tracker is a retrieval engine aimed at education ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by open field (44). Typical pricing is $5.5k–$82k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$56k.
Education teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Education is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
