A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at home care agency owners, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Home care Grant Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at home care agency owners, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (94) and held back by feasibility (41). Typical pricing is $1.1k–$22k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $29k–$90k.
Home care teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes grant & funding tracking. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Home care is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
