Proposal writing handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at hospitality general managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Proposal Builder Built for General Managers is a retrieval engine aimed at hospitality general managers, covering proposal writing. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (94) and held back by feasibility (26). Typical pricing is $3.5k–$53k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $33k–$96k.
Hospitality teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. Every hospitality team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A retrieval engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is data subscription, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
