Point a retrieval engine at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at recruiting agency owners, proving value before anyone signs anything.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Recruiting is a retrieval engine aimed at recruiting agency owners, covering training & competency. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (95) and held back by open field (29). Typical pricing is $1.0k–$21k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$15k.
Recruiting teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. 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 retrieval engine scoped to training & competency alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat 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. Recruiting is growing at roughly 15% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Integrations with the incumbent system of record are undocumented and gatekept.
