Why Micro-SaaS comes first
It fits better on: budget (6-point gap).
On the other aspects, they are tied.

The main risk with Micro-SaaS
The most demanding model: finding a problem someone pays for takes longer than building the tool.
Budget: CA$20–80 a month in tools while you build.
The main risk with Dropshipping
Without an ad budget this model does not start: most tested products never become profitable.
Budget: CA$350–600, of which $300–500 goes to ads.
How we calculate
Each aspect is worth points: what you like doing 22, time 14, contact 14, budget 12, timing 10, location 10, risk 10, stock 8. “Good fit” earns all of the aspect’s points, “Partial” half, “Watch out” 0.
The score measures how well your answers match what the business demands: it is not a chance of success nor an income forecast.
What we ruled out, and why
- Local marketing: it happens in the field: this model does not work from behind a screen.
