A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Risk Scorer for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at construction ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (95) and held back by feasibility (37). Typical pricing is $12k–$173k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $43k–$113k.
Construction teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every construction team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
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.
