A retrieval engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at property management maintenance leads, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Property management Proposal Builder is a retrieval engine aimed at property management maintenance leads, covering proposal writing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by demand (55). Typical pricing is $9.8k–$147k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$30k.
Property management teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes proposal writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
