A long-context reviewer that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes RFP response. Aimed at retail store managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retail RFP Responder is a long-context reviewer aimed at retail store managers, covering RFP response. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (97) and held back by feasibility (27). Typical pricing is $6.0k–$127k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $32k–$97k.
Retail teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
