A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at legal solo practitioners, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Risk Scorer for Legal Solo Practitioners is a retrieval engine aimed at legal solo practitioners, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (93) and held back by demand (39). Typical pricing is $2.5k–$49k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.0k–$6.0k.
Legal teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. 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. Legal is growing at roughly 12% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| 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 |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
