A retrieval engine that handles customer support end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at mental health program directors, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Retrieval Support Agent for Mental health is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering customer support. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by moat (45). Typical pricing is $2.8k–$55k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$7.0k.
Mental health teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. A typical mental health operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a retrieval engine at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
