Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at insurance underwriters, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Risk Scorer for Insurance Underwriters is a retrieval engine aimed at insurance underwriters, covering risk assessment. It scores 72/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by open field (34). Typical pricing is $1.5k–$29k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Insurance 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.
Risk assessment handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is seat saas, 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. Insurance is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
The data you need lives on paper in a back office; digitisation is half the product.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
