A narrow retrieval engine scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at fitness coaches, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: RFP Responder for Fitness Coaches is a retrieval engine aimed at fitness coachs, covering RFP response. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by open field (27). Typical pricing is $4.4k–$67k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$35k.
Fitness teams lose a 200-question RFP answered by six people over a week. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes RFP response. Revenue is data subscription, 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. Fitness is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| 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 |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
