A narrow retrieval engine scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at solar project managers, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Retrieval Contract Analyser for Solar is a retrieval engine aimed at solar project managers, covering contract analysis. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (91) and held back by open field (37). Typical pricing is $10k–$153k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$53k.
Solar teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Every solar team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is managed service, 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
