Great writing. Cool project. What it sounds like is there's going to be piles of use-cases in different companies for something like this that are all different. I suggest a model of selling companies custom solutions to those that all leverage your plug-in or tech. You might license the underlying tech itself, too. So, the start could be something like: 1. Surveys on places with lots of Excel users worded to figure out what jobs they have that take lots of manual steps with days of effort. This is your potential market. 2. Maybe immediately create proposals for the ones you could handle easily as a one-man shop. That's some revenue to get you started. 3. Look for any common patterns in them you can abstract into generic functions or generators. This becomes part of your tooling. 4. Also, look for any kinds of analysis that happen pretty often in certain industries. Then, you might create some basic functionality to as industry-specific solutions that your customization work builds on. If not that, it could just be a marketing tool illustrating the value your software provides to that segment. Those are the ideas that came to mind as I read your article. Good luck.
