A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes knowledge capture. Aimed at professional services ops teams, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Knowledge Base Built for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at professional services ops managers, covering knowledge capture. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (92) and held back by feasibility (32). Typical pricing is $4.4k–$95k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$86k.
Professional services teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
