A solo developer is seeking to identify repetitive, manual B2B workflows that businesses currently solve with Excel and emails, to build a low-risk, low-integration micro-SaaS product.
The developer lacks a validated, specific problem to solve and is seeking input from potential users to discover pain points that fit their constraints of low risk, zero/low trust integration, and no heavy compliance.
Workarounds Described
- Drives adoption by emailing Excel spreadsheets between teams
- Manually cross-references data between two reports
- Chases people over email for routine updates
Implied Software Gaps
- Automated data extraction from PDFs into structured spreadsheets
- Report reconciliation tool that compares datasets and highlights discrepancies
- Automated reminder and follow-up system for routine updates
