Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at public safety ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Public safety Risk Scorer is a retrieval engine aimed at public safety ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (91) and held back by monetisation (25). Typical pricing is $1.3k–$25k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$17k.
Public safety teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most public safety businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
