A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at wholesale inventory planners, proving value before anyone signs anything.

It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$109k.
Wholesale teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. In most wholesale businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
