A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at home care schedulers, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Home care Grant Tracker is a retrieval engine aimed at home care schedulers, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by feasibility (33). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$88k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$118k.
Home care teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. In most home care businesses this job has never had software written for it. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A retrieval engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
