A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at freight brokerage brokers, starting from data the business already produces.

It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by feasibility (61). Typical pricing is $3.7k–$56k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$45k.
Freight brokerage teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. 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 risk assessment. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
