A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes risk assessment. Aimed at lending ops teams, so the work stops following people home.
In short: Risk Scorer for Lending, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at lending ops managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (94) and held back by open field (34). Typical pricing is $13k–$190k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $34k–$95k.
Lending teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
Point a retrieval engine at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is managed service, 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. Lending 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 generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
