Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at real estate property managers, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Real estate Risk Scorer on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at real estate property managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by open field (26). Typical pricing is $2.2k–$45k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$15k.
Real estate teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical real estate operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
