A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes grant & funding tracking. Aimed at mental health program directors, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Mental health Grant Tracker on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by moat (38). Typical pricing is $2.7k–$53k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$43k.
Mental health teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. A typical mental health operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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 offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
