Document review handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at solar owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Solar Document Reviewer is a retrieval engine aimed at solar owner-operators, covering document review. It scores 77/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (83) and held back by open field (63). Typical pricing is $1.2k–$23k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a month for $7.0k–$24k.
Solar teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. A typical solar operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
A retrieval engine that handles document review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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. Solar is growing at roughly 24% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The incumbent is a person, and displacing a person is a change-management problem.
