A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at mental health program directors, finding what the inspector would find, first.
In short: Risk Scorer for Mental health Program Directors is a retrieval engine aimed at mental health program directors, covering risk assessment. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (96) and held back by moat (53). Typical pricing is $4.0k–$85k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$19k.
Mental health teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A retrieval engine that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
