Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at government ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Government Compliance Auditor on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at government ops managers, covering compliance audit. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (65). Typical pricing is $9.4k–$94k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$32k.
Government teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. A typical government operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. 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. Government is growing at roughly 10% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
