A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at insurance underwriters, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Risk Scorer for Insurance Underwriters is a retrieval engine aimed at insurance underwriters, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (97) and held back by feasibility (43). Typical pricing is $2.4k–$48k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $37k–$119k.
Insurance teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. A typical insurance operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
