Knowledge capture handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at recruiting recruiters, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Recruiting Knowledge Base on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting recruiters, covering knowledge capture. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (89) and held back by open field (38). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$47k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$9.0k.
Recruiting teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles knowledge capture end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
