Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at agriculture owner-operators, built for one person, not a department.

It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by feasibility (29). Typical pricing is $12k–$177k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$105k.
Agriculture teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is managed service, 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. Agriculture is growing at roughly 22% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
