A narrow retrieval engine scoped to document review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at energy ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

Energy teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. A typical energy operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to document review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is site licence, 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 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
