A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at recruiting ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
In short: Recruiting Risk Scorer on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by open field (23). Typical pricing is $900–$9.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$35k.
Recruiting teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Revenue is flat 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. Recruiting is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
