Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at government program directors, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Government Risk Scorer on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at government program directors, covering risk assessment. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (96) and held back by feasibility (44). Typical pricing is $13k–$197k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $33k–$119k.
Government teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every government team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
