- Time I can dedicate: [TIME]
- Monthly revenue I'd be happy with: [TARGET_MRR]

TASK STEPS:
1. Generate 5 micro-SaaS ideas that fit my skills and domain knowledge.
2. For each, describe the painful workflow it improves and who pays for it.
3. Score each on build effort, willingness-to-pay, competition, and maintenance load.
4. Reason through which one best balances feasibility and revenue toward [TARGET_MRR].
5. Recommend the top pick with a one-week validation step before building.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- 5 Ideas (name + painful workflow + payer)

- Reasoning Toward Top Pick
- Recommendation + 1-Week Validation

CONSTRAINTS: Favor boring, niche, low-maintenance ideas over flashy ones, ensure each is buildable solo, and ground ideas in my real domain knowledge.
