Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Legal Competency Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering training & competency. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $13k–$198k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $42k–$133k.
Legal teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is managed service, 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. Legal is growing at roughly 12% 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
