A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes grant & funding tracking. Aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Retrieval Grant Tracker for Last-mile delivery is a retrieval engine aimed at last-mile delivery owner-operators, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (93) and held back by demand (69). Typical pricing is $3.9k–$103k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $16k–$47k.
Last-mile delivery teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to grant & funding tracking alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-vehicle, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
