Practitioner write-ups put running a production-grade SaaS at roughly $85-200/month, versus at least ~$5K/month for a minimal remote team in 2019. (mean.ceo) Paired with Lemkin's account of replacing a 10-person GTM team with 20 agents managed by ~1.2 humans, this is the economic engine behind solo builders entering team-sized categories. I've lived part of this, three solo products in a year, 360K lines, and the cost collapse is real. The constraint stopped being money or headcount. It's taste and the hours to apply it.
