A narrow retrieval engine scoped to compliance audit alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at waste management route planners, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
In short: Waste management Compliance Auditor is a retrieval engine aimed at waste management route planners, covering compliance audit. It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by moat (96) and held back by feasibility (44). Typical pricing is $12k–$182k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $28k–$61k.
Waste management teams lose an audit prepared in a two-week panic every year. Nobody owns this process, which is exactly why it keeps breaking. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
A retrieval engine that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. 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. Waste management is growing at roughly 14% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| 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 |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
