A narrow retrieval engine scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at agriculture agronomists, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Retrieval Proposal Builder for Agriculture is a retrieval engine aimed at agriculture agronomists, covering proposal writing. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (97) and held back by feasibility (32). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$85k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $31k–$83k.
Agriculture teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Point a retrieval engine at proposal writing, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
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.
