A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at fitness general managers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.

It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (89) and held back by open field (41).

Fitness teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most fitness businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
