Neither my company nor any of the five companies I’ve worked for over the past ten years would ever trust any of their business to a one person SaaS shop we would throw some developers on it first.
Let me take that back. I was the developer lead for a company from 2016-2018 and we found this 2 person SaaS with a product that we needed. We were going to be 65% of his revenue if we signed the deal.
I spoke to my CTO and lawyers. We made the guy offer us a self hosted version and escrow his code with a third party that we would have the rights to depending on certain events.

I want a way of tracking all the major decisions leaders in the organization make. I’d then like those decisions scored over time, so we can discover who makes good decisions and who doesn’t.

The main problem most of my bosses at any level above me have had is that employees exist and add to opex.
If you can convert all continuing labor to 1 time spend on capital expenditures, then you’ll have a secure niche in the market

This sounds less like a product and more like a consulting business. There’s nothing wrong with that and consulting businesses sometimes are able to spin out products…consulting is also a possible way to generate revenue and build a team while developing a product. Good luck.
