A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal partners, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Partners is a retrieval engine aimed at legal partners, covering risk assessment. It scores 78/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (86) and held back by monetisation (58). Typical pricing is $2.2k–$45k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $5.5k–$13k.
Legal teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
