Illustrative scenario
One place to coordinate rental-property repairs. The opportunity is a narrow request-to-completion workflow that gives every job an owner and visible status.
Gap hypothesis. Smaller property managers may have accounting and tenancy tools but still coordinate ordinary repairs through disconnected messages. The opportunity is a narrow request-to-completion workflow that gives every job an owner and visible status.
ICP and product. Target managers overseeing 50–300 rental units. The MVP supports tenant requests, photos, triage, contractor assignment, appointments and completion confirmation. Exclude rent handling, emergency dispatch and a contractor marketplace.
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 target20 firms × $149/month = $2,980 MRR in a 4–8 month commercial test, assuming a capped portfolio and usage allowance
If the operator is an unpaid founder, the initial cash need is $2,000 — 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 managers before choosing the tenant channel. Secure three paid pilots; confirm cross-property permissions and reliable notifications. Measure time to assignment, repeat administrative contacts and willingness to renew. Route emergency reports to the manager's established procedure instead of implying automated emergency response.
Model your opportunity before you build it.
