Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction owner-operators, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Owner-Operators is a retrieval engine aimed at construction owner-operators, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (90) and held back by feasibility (43). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$68k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$111k.
Construction teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. 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. Construction is growing at roughly 20% 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 |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
