A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal paralegal teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Legal is a retrieval engine aimed at legal paralegal leads, covering training & competency. It scores 80/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by feasibility (63). Typical pricing is $2.9k–$57k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$33k.
Legal teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Revenue is usage-based, 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
