Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at mental health solo practitioners, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Retrieval-Powered Risk Scorer for Solo Practitioners is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health solo practitioners, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by feasibility (25). Typical pricing is $4.2k–$89k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$115k.
Mental health teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every mental health team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, 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. Mental health 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 internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
