Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at legal partners, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Legal Competency Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at legal partners, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by open field (57). Typical pricing is $900–$10k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$39k.
Legal teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. In most legal businesses this job has never had software written for it. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is flat saas, 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
