A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Aimed at manufacturing ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Contract Analyser for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at manufacturing ops managers, covering contract analysis. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (92) and held back by feasibility (33). Typical pricing is $10k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $41k–$99k.
Manufacturing teams lose renewal terms nobody re-read before signing. Every manufacturing team solves this the same way: someone stays late. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes contract analysis. Revenue is site licence, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
