A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at lending ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Lending Contract Analyser is a retrieval engine aimed at lending ops managers, covering contract analysis. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (88) and held back by feasibility (38). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$101k.
Lending teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Every lending team solves this the same way: someone stays late. 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 contract analysis. 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 |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
