A retrieval engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at veterinary technicians, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Proposal Builder for Veterinary, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at veterinary technicians, covering proposal writing. It scores 82/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (89) and held back by moat (75). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.0k–$16k.
Veterinary teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. A typical veterinary operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a retrieval engine at proposal writing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
