A retrieval engine that handles training & competency end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at insurance brokers, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Competency Tracker for Brokers is a retrieval engine aimed at insurance brokers, covering training & competency. It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by open field (51). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$48k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$58k.
Insurance teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-matter, 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. Insurance is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
