Knowledge capture handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at veterinary practice owners, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Knowledge Base for Veterinary, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at veterinary practice owners, covering knowledge capture. It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by demand (71). Typical pricing is $2.6k–$51k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$19k.
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.
Point a retrieval engine at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
