Training & competency handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at security services field supervisors, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Security services Competency Tracker is a retrieval engine aimed at security services field supervisors, covering training & competency. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by demand (37). Typical pricing is $4.1k–$87k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $18k–$47k.
Security services teams lose certifications that expire before anyone notices. Every security services team solves this the same way: someone stays late. Whoever knows how it works becomes a single point of failure.
A retrieval engine that handles training & competency 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
