A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at fintech cfos, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Risk Scorer for Fintech CFOs is a retrieval engine aimed at fintech cfos, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by open field (24). Typical pricing is $7.0k–$148k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $38k–$86k.
Fintech teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most fintech businesses this job has never had software written for it. It scales linearly with headcount, so growth makes it worse rather than better.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
