Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
In short: Risk Scorer for Construction Ops Teams is a retrieval engine aimed at construction ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 81/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by monetisation (65). Typical pricing is $2.4k–$47k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$21k.
Construction teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most construction businesses this job has never had software written for it. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. 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. 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 |
|---|---|
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
