A retrieval engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at professional services partners, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Retrieval Grant Tracker for Professional services is a retrieval engine aimed at professional services partners, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (83) and held back by feasibility (46). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$96k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$101k.
Professional services teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. A typical professional services operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a retrieval engine at grant & funding tracking, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is per-outcome, 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
