A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes training & competency. Aimed at logistics ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Logistics is a retrieval engine aimed at logistics ops managers, covering training & competency. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by monetisation (44). Typical pricing is $900–$10k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$47k.
Logistics teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. A typical logistics operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
