A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at healthcare compliance leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Healthcare is a retrieval engine aimed at healthcare compliance leads, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (97) and held back by open field (26). Typical pricing is $1.4k–$15k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$13k.
Healthcare teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
