Illustrative scenario
Invoice follow-up for small agencies. The opportunity is a focused collection workflow that fits around their accounting system.
Gap hypothesis. Small agencies may already have accounting software but still coordinate invoice reminders, disputed work and promises to pay across spreadsheets and inboxes. The opportunity is a focused collection workflow that fits around their accounting system.
ICP and product. Target owner-led agencies with 5–30 employees and recurring B2B invoices. Build a CSV-first dashboard with reminder drafts, dispute flags, owner assignment and a simple payment-promise history. Exclude payment processing, debt collection services and complex accounting integrations from the pilot.
Outreach prepares the messages; a person sends them and handles the replies. Proposed automated actions need supported connectors, customer permissions and configured release and send rules.

Modelled target25 firms × $99/month = $2,475 MRR within a 3–6 month commercial test
If the operator is an unpaid founder, the initial cash need is $1,600 — the investment without the operator's time. The GitMir, agent and model allowance is provisional, not GitMir published pricing. MRR is gross revenue, not profit: taxes, refunds, implementation fees and ongoing software, API, support and acquisition costs are not included.
Scenario — example inputs, replace them with yours
Model your opportunity
Each month: customers = previous × (1 − churn) + new; revenue = customers × price; contribution = revenue × margin − customers × support; cumulative cash starts at −build cost and adds contribution minus new customers × acquisition cost. Gross revenue, not profit; taxes, refunds and overhead are not included. Your numbers stay in this page.
Interview ten buyers, then secure three paid pilots. Verify that reminders never go to disputed or already-paid invoices. Track follow-up time saved, retained paying firms and support hours before expanding.
Model your opportunity before you build it.
