A retrieval engine that handles grant & funding tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Grant Tracker for Solo Practitioners is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering grant & funding tracking. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (91) and held back by monetisation (40). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$56k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$8.0k.
Mental health teams lose reporting deadlines discovered the week they are due. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
