Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at security services ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Compliance Auditor for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at security services ops managers, covering compliance audit. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (88) and held back by demand (41). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$39k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$21k.
Security services teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Every security services team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. 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 |
