Point a retrieval engine at contract analysis, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at energy ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Energy Contract Analyser is a retrieval engine aimed at energy ops managers, covering contract analysis. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (88) and held back by monetisation (59). Typical pricing is $800–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$55k.
Energy teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is flat saas, 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 internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
