A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by feasibility (27). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $30k–$95k.
Construction teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
