A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at architecture project architects, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Risk Scorer for Architecture, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at architecture project architects, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (88) and held back by feasibility (56). Typical pricing is $2.0k–$40k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $15k–$49k.
Architecture teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical architecture operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
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.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Architecture is growing at roughly 15% 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 |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
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.
Score problem urgency, willingness to pay, and reachable audience size before writing any code.
