Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at lending ops teams, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at lending ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by open field (57). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$53k.
Lending teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Every lending team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
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.
