Point a retrieval engine at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at public safety compliance leads, charging only when it actually works.
In short: Support Agent for Public safety, Run by Retrieval is a retrieval engine aimed at public safety compliance leads, covering customer support. It scores 83/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by monetisation (95) and held back by feasibility (57). Typical pricing is $12k–$178k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in about a quarter for $12k–$26k.
Public safety teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. The work sits between two systems that were never designed to talk. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to customer support alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is managed service, 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. Public safety is growing at roughly 14% 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 |
| 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 |
Every customer wants their own edge cases encoded, so onboarding cost is the real constraint.
