A narrow retrieval engine scoped to customer support alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at mental health clinic admins, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Mental health Support Agent is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health clinic admins, covering customer support. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (90) and held back by feasibility (27). Typical pricing is $4.9k–$104k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$72k.
Mental health teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Customer support handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
