AccessCheck (working name)
Idea status: Idea stage · Target: an MRR ladder ($1k → $50k) instead of one fixed number · Verdict: No as described. Go only as honest EAA monitoring and evidence for EU web agencies · Last updated: 30 Sept 2026
Start here → WHAT-TO-DO-AND-AVOID.md: odds at each MRR level (with conditions, ~15 hrs/week / full-time: $1k ~45% / 60%, $5k ~18% / 28%, $10k ~9% / 16%, $20k ~4% / 8%), 13 do's, 14 avoids, checkpoints.
Origin: this idea came from the 30 Sept 2026 micro-SaaS research. It was assessed with the same brutal-honesty review as the other ideas in this portfolio.
Name: "AccessCheck" is a working name. Similar names are already used by accessibility tools, so check trademark (EUIPO and national registers) and domain before using it publicly.
Research was run on 30 Sept 2026, with a confidence level on each claim. See research/10-verified-research.md.

Caveat
Team, location, languages, hours per week and pricing were not provided. The assumptions are in analysis/09. No verified solo-founder revenue example exists for this kind of tool, and no confirmed EAA fine had been reported as of mid-2026. Several fine figures in circulation come from vendor blogs; the ones checked against primary law are marked in research/10.
