A retrieval engine that handles knowledge capture end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at healthcare department heads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval Knowledge Base for Healthcare is a retrieval engine aimed at healthcare department heads, covering knowledge capture. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by open field (53). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$79k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $14k–$32k.
Healthcare teams lose twenty years of know-how walking out at retirement. Every healthcare team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes knowledge capture. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
