A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at waste management route planners, writing down what only one person knows.
In short: Risk Scorer for Waste management, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering risk assessment. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by open field (90) and held back by monetisation (46). Typical pricing is $4.5k–$96k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $13k–$40k.
Waste management teams lose risk scored by whoever is free that afternoon. In most waste management businesses this job has never had software written for it. 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 per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
