Proposal writing handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at accounting partners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Proposal Builder for Accounting Partners is a retrieval engine aimed at accounting partners, covering proposal writing. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by feasibility (47). Typical pricing is $4.3k–$92k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $40k–$120k.
Accounting teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. A typical accounting operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. 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 per-outcome, 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. Accounting is growing at roughly 11% 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
