A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Aimed at trade schools registrars, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Retrieval Document Reviewer for Trade schools is a retrieval engine aimed at trade schools registrars, covering document review. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (90) and held back by feasibility (44). Typical pricing is $1.5k–$30k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$129k.
Trade schools teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Document review handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
