A narrow retrieval engine scoped to knowledge capture alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at veterinary practice owners, so the work stops following people home.

It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by monetisation (65). Typical pricing is $800–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $4.5k–$13k.
Veterinary teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
