A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at restaurants general managers, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
In short: Risk Scorer for Restaurants General Managers is a retrieval engine aimed at restaurants general managers, covering risk assessment. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (92) and held back by open field (34). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$24k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $6.0k–$16k.
Restaurants teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. 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 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. Restaurants is growing at roughly 13% 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 spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
