A narrow retrieval engine scoped to claims & appeals alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at staffing ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
In short: Staffing Appeal Drafter is a retrieval engine aimed at staffing ops managers, covering claims & appeals. It scores 74/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (94) and held back by feasibility (50). Typical pricing is $3.5k–$75k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $33k–$89k.
Staffing teams lose denials abandoned because appealing costs more than the claim. It is the kind of task that is too small to fund and too costly to ignore. Most operators assume this is simply the cost of doing business.
Claims & appeals handled by a retrieval engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is per-outcome, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
| An offshore back office | Cheaper per hour, but does not scale down to the tail |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
Trust has to be earned before anyone lets this run unsupervised.
