Decision layer, not a competing SaaSEvidence level on every guide90-day review cadence
01 / Start with constraints
Most income ideas should die before the build.
This compact audit ranks twelve models against what you already own, the hours you will really protect, and how long you can wait. It is a first filter—not a verdict.
Viability audit · browser-local · no email
Twelve models in. One honest answer out.
State your honest hours, your patience for a first revenue event, and what you actually are. The audit tests all 12 stream archetypes and returns a decision receipt — including a clear no when nothing fits. Same logic, same data as the MCP tool your agent can call.

07
best fit on these constraints
Micro-SaaS or MCP tool
A small piece of software — increasingly an MCP server sold to the agent ecosystem itself — billed by usage or license.
maintenance floor: 10–20 hrs/mo — software is never done; APIs drift, dependencies break, users email
dies by: Upstream API changes; a security incident you're not staffed for; one-person bus factor; solving a problem nobody pays for.
stop condition: Set a kill criterion at selection: a named result by a named date, or sunset the stream. No stream gets built without one.
The decision receipt
Every audit produces the same JSON object the MCP tool returns: models tested, what was ruled out and why, the fit (or null), the maintenance floor, and the stop condition. Download it, commit it to your repo, and hold yourself to it.
Structured comparison, not financial advice. No income is promised.
02 / Human × agent protocol
Keep the judgment human. Give the machine the weight.
The useful split is not human versus AI. It is judgment versus legwork, joined by an artifact both can inspect.
01
Human sets the constraint
Choose the advantage, time budget, evidence threshold, and line you will not cross.
02
Agents carry the legwork
Map the options, retrieve sources, draft artifacts, and flag facts that have started to drift.
03
The record stays inspectable
Every recommendation keeps its evidence level, review date, maintenance floor, and stop condition.
