Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at waste management route planners, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Risk Scorer Built for Route Planners is a retrieval engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering risk assessment. It scores 82/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (68). Typical pricing is $4.4k–$65k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$49k.
Waste management teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. 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. Waste management is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
