A retrieval engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at healthcare department heads, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Healthcare Grant Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at healthcare department heads, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by open field (31). Typical pricing is $8.2k–$123k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$94k.
Healthcare teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. In most healthcare businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% 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.
