Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at security services schedulers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval Competency Tracker for Security services is a retrieval engine aimed at security services schedulers, covering training & competency. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (84) and held back by monetisation (48). Typical pricing is $700–$8.0k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$55k.
Security services 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 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 flat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
