A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Life sciences Risk Scorer on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at life sciences lab managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (88) and held back by feasibility (58). Typical pricing is $5.9k–$125k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$61k.
Life sciences teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every life sciences team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Life sciences is growing at roughly 18% 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 |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
