A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at pest control dispatchers, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Dispatchers is a retrieval engine aimed at pest control dispatchers, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (89) and held back by moat (62). Typical pricing is $900–$17k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Pest control teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most pest control businesses this job has never had software written for it. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Pest control is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
