Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at public safety ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at public safety ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by monetisation (52). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$62k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$41k.
Public safety teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The error rate is tolerated because measuring it would cost more than the errors.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. 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. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% 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 internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
