A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at franchising franchisor ops, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Franchising Contract Analyser on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at franchising franchisor opss, covering contract analysis. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $4.8k–$72k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$118k.
Franchising teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Every franchising team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Franchising is growing at roughly 17% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| 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 data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
