A long-context reviewer that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes RFP response. Aimed at energy asset managers, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Energy RFP Responder is a long-context reviewer aimed at energy asset managers, covering RFP response. It scores 76/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by feasibility (56). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$32k.
Energy teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a long-context reviewer at RFP response, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
