A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at logistics ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Retrieval Risk Scorer for Logistics is a retrieval engine aimed at logistics ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by demand (96) and held back by feasibility (40). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$64k.
Logistics teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, 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. Logistics is growing at roughly 15% 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
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.
