A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at lending ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Lending Competency Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at lending ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $5.3k–$113k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$98k.
Lending teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical lending operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Lending 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
