A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at franchising field supervisors, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Retrieval Contract Analyser for Franchising is a retrieval engine aimed at franchising field supervisors, covering contract analysis. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by demand (33). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$82k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$97k.
Franchising teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that handles contract analysis end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
