A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at home care schedulers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Home care is a retrieval engine aimed at home care schedulers, covering training & competency. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (88) and held back by demand (65). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$39k.
Home care teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every home care team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Home care is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
