What you are trying to learn

A micro SaaS can stay small in scope while still solving a recurring problem well.

A practical approach

Choose a narrow customer and repeatable job.

Design one recurring workflow.

Decide what must be automated and what can remain manual initially.

Launch to a small group before broadening the feature set.

Keep the first version narrow

Every additional audience, feature and integration creates more assumptions to validate.

Use the smallest release that can produce evidence for the next decision.

Choose tools after defining the workflow

Once the workflow is clear, compare tools based on what they need to support rather than selecting technology first.
