A retrieval engine that handles document review end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at solar owner-operators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Solar Document Reviewer on Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at solar owner-operators, covering document review. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (89) and held back by monetisation (27). Typical pricing is $900–$10k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$6.0k.
Solar teams lose a 900-page document read by someone billing $300 an hour. Every solar team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Point a retrieval engine at document review, and let people review output instead of producing it. Revenue is flat 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 |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
