The principal inverse function of the gamma function is denoted by $\Gamma^{-1}$. See the paper: Uchiyama - The principal inverse of the gamma function.

$\Gamma^{-1}$ is an increasing and concave function defined on $(0.8856,+\infty)$.

I am asking about the existence of an interval $I\subset (0.8856,+∞)$ such that the derivative $(\Gamma^{-1})’(x)$ is greater than $1$ for all $x$ in $I$.

Am I missing something? $(\Gamma^{-1})'(y) = \frac{1}{\Gamma '(x)} = \frac{1}{\Gamma(x) \cdot \psi(x)}$ for $y = \Gamma(x)$. The existence of $I$ now immediately follows from the continuity of $(\Gamma^{-1})'$.
