A narrow retrieval engine scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at veterinary technicians, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
In short: Veterinary Proposal Builder is a retrieval engine aimed at veterinary technicians, covering proposal writing. It scores 70/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (91) and held back by feasibility (43). Typical pricing is $4.7k–$100k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $36k–$87k.
Veterinary teams lose proposals rebuilt from scratch that are 80% identical. A typical veterinary operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Proposal writing 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.

Retrieval over private documents became cheap enough to run per query. Veterinary is growing at roughly 16% 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 |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
