A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at equipment rental dispatchers, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Dispatchers is a retrieval engine aimed at equipment rental dispatchers, covering risk assessment. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (88) and held back by feasibility (60). Typical pricing is $800–$17k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $17k–$46k.
Equipment rental teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. 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.
Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat 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. Equipment rental is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
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.
