A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Aimed at energy asset managers, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Energy Compliance Auditor is a retrieval engine aimed at energy asset managers, covering compliance audit. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by monetisation (44). Typical pricing is $5.0k–$106k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$125k.
Energy teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Every energy team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Compliance audit handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
