A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at life sciences lab managers, built for one person, not a department.

It scores 79/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by monetisation (51).

Life sciences teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most life sciences businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
