Before you unlock: common questions about this idea

Honest answers based on what the dossier actually says. No hype.

The upside might be too small to bother.
The Fermi model gives a year-1 take-home estimate, labeled as Fermi math. If the number doesn't justify your time, the dossier itself tells you so.
The market looks crowded.
Honestly, yes. The dossier names the dominant players, points to a defensible niche if one exists, and tells you when the right move is to walk away.
Why pay $5 if I can just ask ChatGPT?
ChatGPT will give you a starting point in 2 minutes. The dossier is 4-7 pages of structured product strategy: ICP by role, MVP scoped, 30/60/90 plan, financial model, outreach drip, and risk memo. If you've tried to outline a product with ChatGPT, you know the difference.

Yr1 take-home
$-37K

If you land 150 customers at $60/mo average, that's $108k ARR - but payroll is Gusto's home turf, trust takes 18+ months to earn, and your realistic shot at getting there in year one is about 11%.

Estimates only. No live customer revenue claimed. The full model with editable assumptions is in the dossier.
