A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes proposal writing. Aimed at equipment rental dispatchers, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Proposal Builder for Equipment rental Dispatchers is a retrieval engine aimed at equipment rental dispatchers, covering proposal writing. It scores 82/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by feasibility (54). Typical pricing is $900–$18k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$85k.
Equipment rental teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a retrieval engine at proposal writing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Equipment rental is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
