A retrieval engine that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health clinic admins, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Mental health Compliance Auditor on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health clinic admins, covering compliance audit. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (86) and held back by open field (36). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$41k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.5k–$19k.
Mental health teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. A typical mental health operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Mental health is growing at roughly 22% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
