Customer support handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at healthcare department heads, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Retrieval Support Agent for Healthcare is a retrieval engine aimed at healthcare department heads, covering customer support. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by open field (33). Typical pricing is $1.5k–$16k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$43k.
Healthcare teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a retrieval engine at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat saas, 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. Healthcare is growing at roughly 19% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
